Description of problem

If I type

print(someSubview)

I get something like this:

<UIButton: 0x7fb063e3d330; frame = (46 64; 464 41); opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; layer = <CALayer: 0x7fb063e3b010>>

What I would like is to just get name without all that other text:

UIButton

Of course, I could extract the substring programmatically, but I was wondering if there was something built in already. I only want this for debugging.

These don't work

print(someSubview.description)
print(someSubview.class)
print(someSubview.name)

@MartinR, That was the question I was missing. Thanks. I am voting to close this as a duplicate. – Suragch Jul 08 '16 at 19:16
