# tibrvMsg_ConvertToString()

Function

## Declaration

    tibrv_status tibrvMsg_ConvertToString(
        tibrvMsg            message,
        const char**        string);

## Purpose

Format a message as a string.

## Remarks

Programs can use this function to obtain a string representation of the message for printing.

For most datatypes, this function formats the full value of the field to the output string; however, these two types are exceptions:

TIBRVMSG_OPAQUE | This function abbreviates the value of an opaque field; for example, `[472 opaque bytes]`.
TIBRVMSG_XML | This function abbreviates the value of an XML field; for example, `[XML document: 472 bytes]`. The size measures uncompressed data.

This function formats TIBRVMSG_IPADDR32 fields as four dot-separated decimal integers.

This function formats TIBRVMSG_IPPORT16 fields as one decimal integer.

For printing tibrvMsgDateTime values, see Converting Dates to Strings.

Parameter | Description
`message` | Format this message as a string.
`string` | The program supplies a location in this parameter; the function stores a pointer to the string in that location. The function allocates storage for the string itself as part of the message; the string pointer remains valid until the message is destroyed. The program must not modify the string.
