pprint

pprint( 
g_value 
[ p_outputPort ] 
) 
=> nil

Description

Identical to print except that it pretty prints the value whenever possible.

The pprint function is useful, for example, when printing out a long list where print prints the list on one (possibly huge) line but pprint limits the output on a single line and produces a multiple line printout if necessary. This output is much more readable.

pprint does not work the same as the pp function. pp is an nlambda and only takes a function name whereas pprint is a lambda and takes an arbitrary SKILL object.
