ppstring : 'a PP.pprinter -> 'a -> string
STRUCTURE
SYNOPSIS
Pretty-prints a value into a string.
DESCRIPTION
A call to ppstring ppf x will call the pretty-printing function ppf on value x, with the pretty-printing output stored in the string that is eventually returned to the user. The linewidth used for determining when to wrap with newline characters is given by the reference Globals.linewidth (typically 72).
FAILURE
Fails if the pretty-printing function fails on the particular input value.
EXAMPLE
> ppstring PP.add_string "hello"
val it = "hello": string
COMMENTS
The returned string may contain unwanted terminal-specific escape codes, see rawterm_pp.
