gc.time

R Base 3.6.2

This function reports the time spent in garbage collection so far in the R session while GC timing was enabled.

Syntax

R
gc.time(on = TRUE)

Arguments

Parameter Description
on logical; if TRUE, GC timing is enabled.

Return Value

A numerical vector of length 5 giving the user CPU time, the system CPU time, the elapsed time and children's user and system CPU times (normally both zero), of time spent doing garbage collection whilst GC timing was enabled. Times of child processes are not available on Windows and will always be given as NA.

Details

Due to timer resolution this may be under-estimate. This is a primitive.

Examples

Example
R
# NOT RUN {
gc.time()
# }
