OPTIONS

--help: Print usage and exit
--version: Print version and exit

--default-packages=LIST: Attach these packages on startup; a comma-separated LIST of package names, or 'NULL'

and options to R (in addition to --no-echo --no-restore), for example:

--save: Do save workspace at the end of the session
--no-environ: Don't read the site and user environment files
--no-site-file: Don't read the site-wide Rprofile
