Report versions of (external) third-party software used.
extSoftVersion()
The reports the versions of third-party software libraries in use. These are often external but might have been compiled into R when it was installed.
With dynamic linking, these are the versions of the libraries linked to in this session: with static linking, of those compiled in.

Name of the binary/executable file with the implementation of
|
Note that the values for bzlib and pcre normally contain
a date as well as the version number, and that for tre includes
several items separated by spaces, the version number being the
second.
For iconv this will give the implementation as well as the
version, for example "GNU libiconv 1.14", "glibc
2.18" or "win_iconv" (which has no version number).
The name of the binary/executable file for BLAS can be used as an
indication of which implementation is in use. Typically, the R version of
BLAS will appear as libR.so (libR.dylib), R or
libRblas.so (libRblas.dylib), depending on how R was built.
Note that libRblas.so (libRblas.dylib) may also be shown for
an external BLAS implementation that had been copied, hard-linked or
renamed by the system administrator. For an external BLAS, a shared
object file will be given and its path/name may indicate the
vendor/version. The detection does not work on Windows.
libcurlVersion for the version of libCurl.
La_version for the version of LAPACK in use.
La_library for binary/executable file with LAPACK in use.
grSoftVersion for third-party graphics software.
tclVersion for the version of Tcl/Tk.
