## Garbage Collection

## Usage

    gc()
    gcinfo(verbose)

## Arguments

`verbose` | a logical value.

## Value

A call of `gc` causes a garbage collection to take place. This usually takes place automagically without user intervention.

The associated function `gcinfo` sets a flag so that automatic collection is either silent (`verbose=FALSE`) or prints memory use statistics (`verbose=TRUE`).

## Examples

    gc() #- do it now
    gcinfo(TRUE) #-- in the future, show when you do it
    x _ integer(0); for(i in 1:18) x _ c(x,i,x)
    gcinfo(verbose = FALSE)#-- don't show it anymore
