问题
I am using devtools to build my R package, and use the function check to check the package (with a long list of outputs on screen). However, because my package includes examples, and some of the examples are time-consuming, I am wondering how can I suppress checking examples when checking the package in devtools. The check function itself seems to not have such option. Thanks!

You need to set the args argument appropriately with command line arguments to R CMD check. The latter has --no-examples so try
check(...., args = "--no-examples")
where .... are the other arguments you were using for check().
You can see all the arguments for R CMD check by running it with R CMD check --help at a command prompt/shell. To pass more than one to check() you'll need to concatenate them into a character vector, e.g.:
check(...., args = c("--no-examples", "--no-tests"))
