#' R System Requirements
#'
#' Compute the system requirements (system libraries; operating system packages)
#' required by a set of \R packages.
#'
#' This function relies on the database of package system requirements
#' maintained by Posit at <https://github.com/rstudio/r-system-requirements>,
#' as well as the "meta-CRAN" service at <https://crandb.r-pkg.org>. This
#' service primarily exists to map the (free-form) `SystemRequirements` field
#' used by \R packages to the system packages made available by a particular
#' operating system.
#'
#' As an example, the `curl` R package depends on the `libcurl` system library,
#' and declares this with a `SystemRequirements` field of the form:
#'
#' - libcurl (>= 7.62): libcurl-devel (rpm) or libcurl4-openssl-dev (deb)
#'
#' This dependency can be satisfied with the following command line invocations
#' on different systems:
#'
#' - Debian: `sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev`
#' - Redhat: `sudo dnf install libcurl-devel`
#'
#' and so `sysreqs("curl")` would help provide the name of the package
#' whose installation would satisfy the `libcurl` dependency.
#'
#'
#' @inheritParams renv-params
#'
#' @param packages A vector of \R package names. When `NULL`
#'   (the default), the project's package dependencies as reported via
#'   [renv::dependencies()] are used.
#'
#' @param local Boolean; should `renv` rely on locally-installed copies of
#'   packages when resolving system requirements? When `FALSE`, `renv` will
#'   use <https://crandb.r-pkg.org> to resolve the system requirements
#'   for these packages.
#'
#' @param check Boolean; should `renv` also check whether the requires system
#'   packages appear to be installed on the current system? Ignored when
#'   `distro` is supplied.
#'
#' @param report Boolean; should `renv` also report the commands which could be
#'   used to install all of the requisite package dependencies?
#'
#' @param collapse Boolean; when reporting which packages need to be installed,
#'   should the report be collapsed into a single installation command? When
#'   `FALSE` (the default), a separate installation line is printed for each
#'   required system package.
#'
#' @param distro The name of the Linux distribution for which system requirements
#'   should be checked -- typical values are "ubuntu", "debian", and "redhat".
#'   These should match the distribution names used by the R system requirements
#'   database. A version suffix can be included; for example, "ubuntu:24.04".
