[Rd] Call function only when running via R CMD check?

I'd like to be able to change some default settings only in the case when checking a package with 'R CMD check'. More precisely, I'd like to execute a piece of R code before the Rd examples and/or test scripts are evaluated by 'R CMD check'. Is there a mechanism in 'R CMD check' that makes this p
