| Name| Description
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/hexDump-09.adoc[`hexDump`] 
| `hexDump` overloads
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/indent.adoc[`indent`] 
| Emit to the specified output `stream` the number of spaces (` `) equal to the absolute value of the product of the specified `level` and `spacesPerLevel` or, if `level` is negative, nothing at all. Return a reference providing modifiable access to `stream`. The behavior is undefined unless the absolute value of the product of the specified `level` and `spacesPerLevel` is representable as `int`.
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/newlineAndIndent.adoc[`newlineAndIndent`] 
| Emit to the specified `stream` a newline (`
`) followed by the number of spaces (` `) equal to the absolute value of the product of the specified `level` and `spacesPerLevel` or, if `spacesPerLevel` is negative, emit a single space (and _no_ newline). Return a reference providing modifiable access to `stream`. The behavior is undefined unless the absolute value of the product of the specified `level` and `spacesPerLevel` is representable as `int`.
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/printPtr.adoc[`printPtr`] 
| Print to the specified `stream` the specified pointer `value` in a standard format. The output is in hexadecimal format with a maximum length of `2 * sizeof(void *)`. The output does not have leading zeros and is not preceded by `0x`. The hexadecimal digits (`a` to `f`, inclusive) are expressed in lower case.
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/printString.adoc[`printString`] 
| Print to the specified `stream` the specified `string` of the specified `length` and return a reference providing modifiable access to `stream`. If the optionally specified `escapeBackSlash` flag is `true`, then all occurrences of the backslash character ('') in the `string` are escaped (i.e., expanded to "\") when written to the `stream`. Note that non‐printable characters in `string` will be printed in their hexadecimal representation ('xHH'). If `stream` is not valid on entry, this operation has no effect. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= length`.
| xref:BloombergLP/bdlb/Print/singleLineHexDump-05.adoc[`singleLineHexDump`] 
| `singleLineHexDump` overloads
