[R] gc

[Göran Broström]

I get

> gc()
         used (Mb) gc trigger (Mb)
Ncells 293826  7.9     531268 14.2
Vcells 564690  4.4    1659889 12.7

but how do I interpret these numbers? I understand (vaguely) the words
"Ncells" and "Vcells" after reading ?gc, and "used", but what does 
"gc trigger" mean?
