In-Depth Description

The `gc` command prints garbage collection information to the console — counts of allocated objects and recent collection activity.

Quick Overview

The `gc` command is used to provide information about the game's garbage collection system. Garbage collection refers to the management of memory within the game, specifically how it handles the disposal of objects that are no longer needed or used. This can give insight on game performance and potential issues with resource allocation.
