[R] What is tthe meaning of Ncells and Vcells?

[Rui Esteves]

Hello,

When I do gc() I got this return:

> gc()
           used  (Mb) gc trigger   (Mb)  max used    (Mb)
Ncells   288952  15.5     968217   51.8 381338927 20365.7
Vcells 57781947 440.9  180578758 1377.8 551082632  4204.5

What does actually means Ncells, Vcells, used and gc trigger?

Thanks,
Rui
