NAME

6       R - a language for data analysis and graphics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       R [options] [< infile] [> outfile]
10       R CMD command [arguments]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Start  R,  a  system for statistical computation and graphics, with the
14       specified options, or invoke an R tool via the 'R CMD' interface.
15
16       R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language de‐
17       veloped  at  AT&T Bell Laboratories.  It provides support for a variety
18       of statistical and graphical analyses.  R is a true  computer  language
19       which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and
20       alternation.  It allows users to add additional functionality by defin‐
21       ing new functions.
22
23       On  systems  which  have the GNU readline(3) library, R will maintain a
24       command history, so that commands can be recalled, edited  and  re-exe‐
25       cuted.
26

OPTIONS

28       Most options control what happens at the beginning and at the end of an
29       R session, in particular which files are being read  and  written,  and
30       how much memory is reserved for the R process.
