NAME

6       curl_escape - URL encodes the given string
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       char *curl_escape( const char *url, int length );
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_escape(3) instead!
15
16       This  function  will  convert  the given input string to an URL encoded
17       string and return that as a new allocated string. All input  characters
18       that  are  not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped"
19       version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
20
21       If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will  use  strlen()
22       on the input 'url' string to find out the size.
23
24       You must curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it.
25

AVAILABILITY

27       Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This function will be
28       removed in a future release.

RETURN VALUE

31       A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
