.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2006-04-07 17:50:47 -04:00
|
|
|
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
|
2004-06-01 04:33:15 -04:00
|
|
|
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.
|
