curl_unescape(3) libcurl Manual curl_unescape(3)NAME
curl_unescape - URL decodes the given string
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_unescape( char *url, int length );
DESCRIPTION
Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_unescape(3) instead!
This function will convert the given URL encoded input string 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 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_unescape() will use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.
You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it.
AVAILABILITY
Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_unescape(3) should be used. This function will be removed in a future release.
RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.

curl_easy_unescape - URL decodes the given string
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_easy_unescape( CURL *curl, char *url, int inlength , int *outlength );
DESCRIPTION
This function converts the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string" and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input char-
acters that are URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to their binary versions.
If the length argument is set to 0 (zero), curl_easy_unescape(3) will use strlen() on the input url string to find out the size.
If outlength is non-NULL, the function will write the length of the returned string in the integer it points to. This allows an escaped
string containing %00 to still get used properly after unescaping.
You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you're done with it.
AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old curl_unescape(3) function.
RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.

Hi all,
We use strlen() fun provided by library to find the length of a string.
Looking inside of it, it has some different mechanism to find the length of string.
Normally, we scan the string byte by byte until the '\0' character. It takes a logn time to count length.
The Library strlen()... (2 Replies)
