+#' Read BED Files
+#'
+#' This function reads BED files from a specified directory or file path and
+#' combines them into a single data frame. BED files use 0-based coordinate starts,
+#' while this function transforms the coordinates to 1-based during import.
+#'
+#' @param path A character string specifying the directory containing BED files
+#'   or the file path to a single BED file.
+#'
+#' @return A data frame combining data from the BED files.
+#'
+#' @details This function can read multiple BED files from a directory or a
+#'   single BED file from a specified path. It adds a 'filename' column with the
+#'   name of the file, and combines the data frames from all files into one.
