Hello,

gcc 4.4.2 c89

I have the following enum:

enum drop_options_e
{
    drop_ssm,
    drop_snm,
    drop_ssb
};

I am just wondering that is the best way to get the string representation value from the enum.

So basically, instead of returning the value of 0 for drop_ssm, I could get the 'drop_ssm' instead.

Many thanks for any advice,
