     This function provides a way to read or update a NetAffx data
     base. The usual use for this is to force the data base description
     to be updated (by accessing the Affymetrix web site) or to
     retrieve the entire list of NetAffx resource data base. A more
     normal use case is to

_U_s_a_g_e:

     readNetAffx(netAffxResource, update = FALSE, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

netAffxResource: An object of class 'NetAffxResource' containing the
          path to the local data base, and permissions for access the
          Affymetrix NetAffx resource. 

  update: An object of 'logical(1)' indicating whether the data base is
          to be updated ('TRUE') or not. 

     ...: Additional arguments, not currently used.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object representing the annotations found; see
     'NetAffxResource' for additional details.
