soiltextureInfo {soiltexture}

Display and / or export system and package version information

Description

Display and / or export system and package version information. Can be used to provide an overview of the system and the R packages that were used to produce some calculations, thus improving the traceability of that work in the long run.

Usage

soiltextureInfo(
  file = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  depends = FALSE,
  md5 = TRUE,
  packages = "soiltexture"
)

Arguments

file

Single character string. Name of the text file (with or without its path) in which the information will be exported. If NULL (default), information are not exported.

verbose

Single logical value. If TRUE, information are displayed on the screen.

depends

Single logical value. If TRUE, information on packages dependencies are also displayed, in the same way

Examples

library( "soiltexture" )

#   Temporary file where the info will be exported:
f <- tempfile() 

#   Generate package information
soiltextureInfo( file = f, depends = TRUE, verbose = FALSE )

#   Read again the info (as for verbose = TRUE)
cat( readLines( f ), sep = "\n" ) 
unlink( f )

#   Also works with other packages
soiltextureInfo( packages = "sp" )
