Report Time Spent in Garbage Collection

Description:

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

Usage:

     gc.time(on = TRUE)

Arguments:

      on: logical; if 'TRUE', GC timing is enabled.

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.

Warnings:

     This is experimental functionality, likely to be removed as soon
     as the next release.

     The timings are rounded up by the sampling interval for timing
     processes, and so are likely to be over-estimates.

See Also:

     'gc', 'proc.time' for the timings for the session.

Examples:

     gc.time()
