Values

An object of class "sessionInfo", which has a print method. This is a list with components

R.version
a list, the result of calling R.Version().
platform
a character string describing the platform. For recent versions where sub-architectures are in use this is of the form platform/sub-arch (nn-bit).

Note

The information on ‘loaded’ packages and namespaces is the current version installed at the location the package was loaded from: it can be wrong if another process has been changing packages during the session.
