flush_nl has the effect of Format.pp_print_newline.

val nop : 'a t

nop formats nothing.

val any : (unit, Format.formatter, unit) format -> 'a t

any fmt formats any value with fmt.

Sequencing

val iter : ?sep:unit t -> (('a -> unit) -> 'b -> unit) -> 'a t -> 'b t

iter ~sep iter pp_elt formats the iterations of iter over a value using pp_elt. Iterations are separated by sep (defaults to cut).

val iter_bindings : ?sep:unit t -> (('a -> 'b -> unit) -> 'c -> unit) -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'c t

iter_bindings ~sep iter pp_binding formats the iterations of iter over a value using pp_binding. Iterations are separated by sep (defaults to cut).

concat ~sep pps concatenates the formatters pps separating them with sep (defaults to cut).

Boxes

val box : ?indent:int -> 'a t -> 'a t

box ~indent pp ppf wraps pp in a horizontal or vertical box. Break hints that lead to a new line add indent to the current indentation (defaults to 0).

val hbox : 'a t -> 'a t

hbox is like box but is a horizontal box: the line is not split in this box (but may be in sub-boxes).

val vbox : ?indent:int -> 'a t -> 'a t

vbox is like box but is a vertical box: every break hint leads to a new line which adds indent to the current indentation (default to 0).

val hvbox : ?indent:int -> 'a t -> 'a t

hvbox is like box but is either hbox if its fits on a single line or vbox otherwise.

val hovbox : ?indent:int -> 'a t -> 'a t

hovbox is a condensed box, see Format.pp_open_hovbox.

Brackets

braces pp_v ppf is pf "@[<1>{%a}@]" pp_v.

val quote : ?mark:string -> 'a t -> 'a t

quote ~mark pp_v ppf is pf "@[<1>@<1>%s%a@<1>%s@]" mark pp_v mark, mark defaults to "\"", it is always counted as spanning as single column (this allows for UTF-8 encoded marks).

Records

val id : 'a -> 'a

id is Fun.id.

val field : ?label:string t -> ?sep:unit t -> string -> ('b -> 'a) -> 'a t -> 'b t

val record : ?sep:unit t -> 'a t list -> 'a t

record ~sep fields pretty-prints a value using the concatenation of fields, separated by sep (defaults to cut) and framed in a vertical box.

Stdlib types

Formatters for structures give full control to the client over the formatting process and do not wrap the formatted structures with boxes.

val bool : bool t

bool is Format.pp_print_bool.

val int : int t

int is Format.pp_print_int.

val int32 : int32 t

int32 is pf ppf "%ld".

val int64 : int64 t

int64 is pf ppf "%Ld".

val float : float t

float is pf ppf "%g".

val char : char t

char is Format.pp_print_char.

val string : string t

string is Format.pp_print_string.

val sys_signal : int t

sys_signal formats an OCaml signal number as a C POSIX constant or "SIG(%d)" if the signal number is unknown.

val backtrace : Printexc.raw_backtrace t

backtrace formats a backtrace.

val exn : exn t

exn formats an exception.

val exn_backtrace : (exn * Printexc.raw_backtrace) t

exn_backtrace formats an exception backtrace.

val pair : ?sep:unit t -> 'a t -> 'b t -> ('a * 'b) t

pair ~sep pp_fst pp_snd formats a pair. The first and second projection are formatted using pp_fst and pp_snd and are separated by sep (defaults to cut).

val option : ?none:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a option t

option ~none pp_v formats an option. The Some case uses pp_v and None uses none (defaults to nop).

val none : unit t

none is any "<none>".

val list : ?empty:unit t -> ?sep:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a list t

list ~sep pp_v formats list elements. Each element of the list is formatted in order with pp_v. Elements are separated by sep (defaults to cut). If the list is empty, this is empty (defaults to nop).

val array : ?empty:unit t -> ?sep:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a array t

array ~sep pp_v formats array elements. Each element of the array is formatted in in order with pp_v. Elements are seperated by sep (defaults to cut). If the array is empty this is empty (defauls to nop).

Magnitudes

val si_size : scale:int -> string -> int t

si_size ~scale unit formats a non negative integer representing unit unit at scale 10scale * 3, depending on its magnitude, using power of 3 SI prefixes (i.e. all of them except deca, hector, deci and centi). Only US-ASCII characters are used, µ (10-6) is written using u.

scale indicates the scale 10scale * 3 an integer represents, for example -1 for munit (10-3), 0 for unit (100), 1 for kunit (103); it must be in the range [-8;8] or Invalid_argument is raised.

Except at the maximal yotta scale always tries to show three digits of data with trailing fractional zeros omited. Rounds towards positive infinity (over approximates).

val byte_size : int t

byte_size is si_size ~scale:0 "B".

val uint64_ns_span : int64 t

uint64_ns_span formats an unsigned nanosecond time span according to its magnitude using SI prefixes on seconds and accepted non-SI units. Years are counted in Julian years (365.25 SI-accepted days) as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Only US-ASCII characters are used (us is used for µs).

Text and lines

val text : string t

text is Format.pp_print_text.

val lines : string t

lines formats lines by replacing newlines ('\n') in the string with calls to Format.pp_force_newline.

val truncated : max:int -> string t

truncated ~max formats a string using at most max characters. If the string doesn't fit, it is truncated and ended with three consecutive dots which do count towards max.

HCI fragments

val and_enum : ?empty:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a list t

and_enum ~empty pp_v ppf l formats l according to its length.

  • 0, formats empty (defaults to nop).
  • 1, formats the element with pp_v.
  • 2, formats "%a and %a" with the list elements
  • n, formats "%a, ... and %a" with the list elements
val or_enum : ?empty:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a list t

or_enum is like and_enum but uses "or" instead of "and".

val did_you_mean : 'a t -> 'a list t

did_you_mean pp_v formats "Did you mean %a ?" with or_enum if the list is non-empty and nop otherwise.

val must_be : 'a t -> 'a list t

must_be pp_v formats "Must be %a." with or_enum if the list is non-empty and nop otherwise.

val unknown : kind:unit t -> 'a t -> 'a t

unknown ~kind pp_v formats "Unknown %a %a." kind () pp_v.

val unknown' : kind:unit t -> 'a t -> hint:('a t -> 'a list t) -> ('a * 'a list) t

unknown ~kind pp_v ~hint (v, hints) formats unknown followed by a space and hint pp_v hints if hints is non-empty.

ANSI TTY styling

val set_tty_cap : ?cap:Tty.cap -> unit -> unit

set_tty_cap ?cap () sets the global TTY formatting capabilities to cap if specified and to Tty.(cap (of_fd Unix.stdout)) otherwise. . Affects the output of tty_str and tty.

val tty_cap : unit -> Tty.cap

tty_cap () is the global styling capability.

val tty_string : Tty.style list -> string t

val tty : Tty.style list -> 'a t -> 'a t
