  Further information
 
 1. This function calls directly the
 tostring routine of the module. It is therefore recommended to check whether the type supports this functionality before using this function (see
 gettypeprop).
 
 2. The returned length might be larger than
 size. In this case this return value is the minimum buffer size required to generate the text representation and the destination string
 str is not populated.
