URLCODING(3) libbash urlcoding Library Manual URLCODING(3)NAME
urlcoding -- a Libbash library for encoding and decoding URL's.
SYNOPSIS
urlEncodeString [-l] <STRING>
urlEncodeFile [-l] <FILE>
urlEncodeStream [-l]
urlDecodeString <STRING>
urlDecodeFile <FILENAME>
urlDecodeStream
DESCRIPTION
urlcoding is a collection of functions that convert ASCII-text to standard URL's and vice-versa. The AWK code used is based on code by Heiner
Steven <heiner.steven@odn.de>
The function list:
urlEncodeString Creates a URL from an ASCII string
urlEncodeFile Converts a file into URL-valid text
urlEncodeStream Converts standard input into URL-valid text
urlDecodeString Converts a URL-encoded text back to a plain-text form
urlDecodeFile Coverts URL-encoded text in a file back to plain text
urlDecodeStream Converts URL-encoded standard input to text
Detailed interface description follows.
The [-l] option for the encoding functions should be used when line-feed characters ('
') are to be encoded as well.
All functions print the results of their conversions to standard output.
The exit status of all functions is that of the command 'awk', with '0' for success

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.
