Details
Functions registered this way are called when finalizeSession
() is
called. Moreover, when this package is loaded, the .Last()
function is modified such that finalizeSession()
is called.
However, note that .Last()
is not guaranteed to be called
when the R session finished. For instance, the user may quit R by
calling quit(callLast=FALSE)
.
Moreover, when R is run in batch mode, .Last()
is never called.
