\arguments{
  \item{barcodes}{
A vector of barcodes to read.  Either this argument or \code{pdat} must
be specified.

\item{pdat}{
  A data.frame describing the samples.  A special column named
  "barcodes" can be used to specify the barcodes to be read.
}
  \item{parallel}{
If TRUE, an attempt will be made to process using multiple cores on a
multicore machine.
