Comparing `readLines` and `sessionInfo()` Output: What's Behind the Discrepancy?
Understanding the Difference Between readLines and sessionInfo() Output In R, the output of two seemingly similar commands, readLines("/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist") and sessionInfo(), may appear different. The former command reads the contents of a file specified by its absolute path, while the latter function provides information about the current R environment session. Background on the Output Format The output format of both commands is XML (Extensible Markup Language). This might be the source of the discrepancy in the operating system shown between the console and knitted HTML version.
