Package: Rserve
Version: 0.3-16
Title: Binary R server
Author: Simon Urbanek
Maintainer: Simon Urbanek
Depends: R (>= 1.5.0)
Description: Rserve acts as a socket server (TCP/IP or local sockets)
which allows binary requests to be sent to R. Every
connection has a separate workspace and working
directory. Client-side implementations are available
for popular languages such as C/C++ and Java, allowing
any application to use facilities of R without the need of
linking to R code. Rserve supports remote connection,
user authentication and file transfer.
