Write the string representation of `value` to the specified `stream`.

== Synopsis

Declared in `<bslx_typecode.h>`

[source,cpp,subs="verbatim,replacements,macros,-callouts"]
----
static
std::ostream&
print(
    std::ostream& stream,
    xref:BloombergLP/bslx/TypeCode/Enum.adoc[TypeCode::Enum] value,
    int level = 0,
    int spacesPerLevel = 4);
----

== Description

Write the string representation of the specified enumeration `value` to the specified output `stream`, and return a reference to `stream`. Optionally specify an initial indentation `level`, whose absolute value is incremented recursively for nested objects. If `level` is specified, optionally specify `spacesPerLevel`, whose absolute value indicates the number of spaces per indentation level for this and all of its nested objects. If `level` is negative, suppress indentation of the first line. If `spacesPerLevel` is negative, format the entire output on one line, suppressing all but the initial indentation (as governed by `level`). See `toAscii` for what constitutes the string representation of a `TypeCode::Enum` value.

== Return Value

a reference to `stream`
