\title{Get or verify valid IDs for a package or OrgDb object.}
\description{
These functions either verify that a list of IDs are primary and valid IDs
for a package, or else return all the valid primary IDs from a package
}
\usage{
isValidKey(ids, pkg)
allValidKeys(pkg)
\S4method{isValidKey}{character,character}(ids, pkg)
\S4method{isValidKey}{character,OrgDb}(ids, pkg)
\S4method{allValidKeys}{character}(pkg)
\S4method{allValidKeys}{OrgDb}(pkg)
}
\arguments{
\item{ids}{A character vector containing IDs that you wish to validate.}
\item{pkg}{Either the name of an installed annotation package (e.g.,
"org.Hs.eg.db"), or an uninstalled annotation package, e.g., from AnnotationHub.}
}
\details{
Every package has some kind of ID that is central to that package.
For chip-based packages this will be some kind of probe, and for the
organism based packages it will be something else (usually an entrez
gene ID). isValidKey takes a list of IDs and tests to see whether or
not they are present (valid) in a particular package. allValidKeys
simply returns all the valid primary IDs for a package.
}
\value{
\code{isValidKey} returns a vector of TRUE or FALSE values corresponding to whether or not the
ID is valid.
\code{allValidKeys} returns a vector of all the valid primary IDs.

## 2 bad IDs and a 3rd that will be valid
ids <- c("15S_rRNA_2","21S_rRNA_4","15S_rRNA")

## 2 good IDs and a 3rd that will not be valid
ids <- c("5600","7531", "altSymbol")
isValidKey(ids, "org.Hs.eg")
## Get all the valid primary id from org.Hs.eg.db
