NAME

       R - a language for data analysis and graphics

SYNOPSIS

       R [options] [< infile] [> outfile]
       R CMD command [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

       Start  R,  a  system for statistical computation and graphics, with the specified options, or invoke an R
       tool via the 'R CMD' interface.

       R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language developed at AT&T Bell  Laboratories.
       It  provides  support for a variety of statistical and graphical analyses.  R is a true computer language
       which contains a number of control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation.  It allows users  to
       add additional functionality by defining new functions.

       On  systems  which  have the GNU readline(3) library, R will maintain a command history, so that commands
       can be recalled, edited and re-executed.

OPTIONS

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