curl_escape(3) libcurl Manual curl_escape(3)NAMEcurl_escape - URL encodes the given string
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_escape( char *url, int length );
DESCRIPTION
This function will convert the given input string to an
URL encoded string and return that as a new allocated
string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9
will be converted to their "URL escaped" version (%NN
where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
If the 'length' argument is set to 0, curl_escape() 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.
RETURN VALUE
A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it
failed.
