re-written from scratch to both exclude
data that's rarely useful (e.g., the full collate string or base packages
loaded) and include stuff you'd like to know (e.g., where a package was
installed from).
session_info(pkgs = NULL, include_base = FALSE)
pkgs |
Either a vector of package names or NULL. If |
include_base |
