Report on Memory Allocation

Description:

     'memory.size' and 'memory.limit' are used to manage the total
     memory allocation on Windows.  On other platforms these are stubs
     which report infinity with a warning.

Usage:

     memory.size(max = FALSE)

     memory.limit(size = NA)

Arguments:

     max: logical. If true the maximum amount of memory obtained from
          the OS is reported, otherwise the amount currently in use.

    size: numeric. If 'NA' report the memory size, otherwise request a
          new limit, in Mb.

Details:

     To restrict memory usage on a Unix-alike use the facilities of the
     shell used to launch R, e.g. 'limit' or 'ulimit'.

Value:

     Size in bytes: always 'Inf'.
