Further information
1. This function converts an entity of an external type into its textual representation. If the type does not support this conversion, the function produces a string using the address of the entity.
2. The returned length might be larger than
size-1. In this case this return value is the minimum buffer size (not including the terminating null byte) required to generate the text representation and the destination string
str is not populated.
