If width is passed and it is not a NULL value, then it returns the first width – 4 characters of the result appended with (….), in case of full result using more than width specified.
x:- It is a R object to be converted.
width:- It represents the maximum field width. The minimum value for width can be 6 and anything smaller than 6 is taken as 6, 0 or NULL indicate no maximum.
… :- It is the optional arguments passed to or from methods.
