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 lengthf argument is set to 0, curl_escape() will use strlen() on
22       the input url string to find out the size.
23
24       You must curl_free(3) the returned string when you are done with it.
25

EXAMPLE

27       char *output = curl_escape("data to convert", 15);
28       if(output) {
29         printf("Encoded: %s\n", output);
30         curl_free(output);
31       }
32

AVAILABILITY

34       Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This function will be
35       removed in a future release.
36

RETURN VALUE

38       A pointer to a null-terminated string or NULL if it failed.
