Hi Dario,
Here are another couple of other fun functions you can utilize besides the
ones Dirk recommended :)
extSoftVersion()
grSoftVersion()
Below is an example:
> grSoftVersion()
cairo libpng jpeg
"1.10.2" "1.6.16" "9.1"
libtiff
"LIBTIFF, Version 4.0.3"
> extSoftVersion()
zlib bzlib xz
"1.2.8" "1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010" "5.0.8"
PCRE ICU TRE
"8.36 2014-09-26" "53.1" "TRE 0.8.0 R_fixes (BSD)"
iconv
"win_iconv"
Hope it helps,
~p
