R: How much memory is currently used by R?

mem_used {pryr} | R Documentation

## How much memory is currently used by R?

### Description

R breaks down memory usage into Vcells (memory used by vectors) and Ncells (memory used by everything else). However, neither this distinction nor the "gc trigger" and "max used" columns are typically important. What we're usually most interested in is the the first column: the total memory used. This function wraps around `gc()` to return the total amount of memory (in megabytes) currently used by R.

### Usage

    mem_used()

### Value

Megabytes of ram used by R objects.

### Examples

    mem_used()
