pp

pp( 
s_functionName 
[ p_outputPort ] 
) 
=> nil

Description

Pretty prints the definition of a function. The function must not be read-protected. This is an nlambda function.

Each function definition is printed in a manner that allows it to be read back into SKILL. pp does not evaluate its first argument but does evaluate the second argument, if given.

Arguments

s_functionName	Name of the function to be pretty printed.
p_outputPort	Output port to print to. Default is poport.

Value Returned

nil	Pretty prints the function.

Examples

Defines the factorial function fac then pretty prints it to poport.

procedure(fac(n) if(n <= 1 1 n*fac(n-1)))=> fac
pp fac 
procedure(fac(n)
    if((n <= 1) 1
        (n * fac(n - 1))
    )
) 
=> nil
