.TH curl_unescape 3 "22 March 2001" "libcurl 7.7" "libcurl Manual"

|
.SH NAME
|
|
curl_unescape - URL decodes the given string
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|

.B #include <curl/curl.h>
|

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Obsolete function. Use \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP 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.
|
|
.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 zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
