.TH curl_unescape 3 "22 March 2001" "libcurl" "libcurl"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_unescape - URL decodes the given string
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
char *curl_unescape(const char *input, int length);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Obsolete function. Use \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP instead!
|
|
|
|
This function will convert the URL encoded string \fBinput\fP to a "plain
|
|
string" and return that as a new allocated string. All input characters that
|
|
are URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) will be
|
|
converted to their plain text versions.
|
|
|
|
If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0, \fIcurl_unescape(3)\fP will use
|
|
strlen() on \fBinput\fP to find out the size.
|
|
|
|
You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you are done with it.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
.nf
|
|
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
|
|
if(curl) {
|
|
int decodelen;
|
|
char *decoded = curl_unescape("%63%75%72%6c", 12, &decodelen);
|
|
if(decoded) {
|
|
/* do not assume printf() works on the decoded data! */
|
|
printf("Decoded: ");
|
|
/* ... */
|
|
curl_free(decoded);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH AVAILABILITY
|
|
Since 7.15.4, \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP should be used. This function will
|
|
be removed in a future release.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
A pointer to a null-terminated string or NULL if it failed.
