void dump	(	int	indent = `0`,
		std::ostream &	os = `std::cout`
	)		const

Diagnostic function to print internal state of object to output stream in an indented format.

Parameters:

[in]	indent	Number of spaces to indent all the printed lines of this object.
[in]	os	Output stream to print on.

All objects in the E57 Foundation API (with exception of E57Exception) support a dump() function. These functions print out to the console a detailed listing of the internal state of objects. The content of these printouts is not documented, and is really of interest only to implementation developers/maintainers or the really adventurous users. In implementations of the API other than the Reference Implementation, the dump() functions may produce no output (although the functions should still be defined). The output format may change from version to version.

Postcondition:: No visible object state is modified.

Exceptions:

No	E57Exceptions
