Description

This function saves all objects in stored in the global workspace, and also saves the session info object that describes other information about the session. It is a thin wrapper on the save method.

Arguments

list	A character vector containing the names of objects to be saved.
...	the names of the objects to be saved (as symbols or character strings).
file	a (writable binary-mode) connection or the name of the file where the data will be saved (when tilde expansion is done). Must be a file name for version = 1.
version	the workspace format version to use. NULL specifies the current default format. The version used from R 0.99.0 to R 1.3.1 was version 1. The default format as from R 1.4.0 is version 2.
envir	environment to search for objects to be saved.

This function is a thin wrapper on top of save.image(). The only difference being that the sessionInfo object is first stored in the global environment as an object named .sessionInfo.
