If Datum contains only the value (not having type specific info.), then
Suppose i want to print the Datum V value (already defined in postgres)
then printf("%??", V);
Because V is assigned by PG_GETARG_POINTER(1);
I don't having the information of type Datum.
How to print the value of Datum in postgres?

Datum does not carry any type information, only a value. Functions are
typically coded to know their input types a priori. If you want to
write code that is not type-specific then you'd better be passing around
type OIDs as well as values.
