The functions documented here enable retrieving information about the Octave installation used at installation or runtime -- which should normally be the same.
Octave.info is a function that retrieves
information about the version of Octave that is used by
the current session of RcppOctave.
Octave.version Octave.config Octave.info(name)
List of 4 $ platform : chr "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" $ version : chr "3.8.0" $ api : chr "api-v49+" $ version.string: chr "Octave version 3.8.0 (api-v49+)" - attr(*, "class")= chr "simple.list"
Octave.version is list that contains version
information as determined by the configure script at
installation time.
Octave.config is a list that extends
Octave.version with extra information about
compilers and compilation flags.
