Return the string representation of the specified enumeration `value`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<baltzo_errorcode.h>`

toAscii(xref:BloombergLP/baltzo/ErrorCode/Enum.adoc[ErrorCode::Enum] value);

== Description

Return the non‐modifiable string representation corresponding to the specified enumeration `value`, if it exists, and a unique (error) string otherwise. The string representation of `value` matches its corresponding enumerator name with the "k_" prefix elided. For example: ` bsl::cout << ErrorCode::toAscii(ErrorCode::k_UNSUPPORTED_ID); ` will print the following on standard output: ` UNSUPPORTED_ID ` Note that specifying a `value` that does not match any of the enumerators will result in a string representation that is distinct from any of those corresponding to the enumerators, but is otherwise unspecified.

== Return Value

non‐modifiable string representation for `value`, or a unique error string
