23 .TH curl_easy_escape 3 "7 April 2006" "libcurl 7.15.4" "libcurl Manual"
24 .SH NAME
25 curl_easy_escape - URL encodes the given string
26 .SH SYNOPSIS
27 .B #include <curl/curl.h>
28 .sp
29 .BI "char *curl_easy_escape( CURL *" curl ", const char *" string
30 .BI ", int "length " );"
31 .ad
32 .SH DESCRIPTION
33 This function converts the given input \fIstring\fP to a URL encoded string
34 and returns that as a new allocated string. All input characters that are not
35 a-z, A-Z, 0-9, '-', '.', '_' or '~' are converted to their "URL escaped"
36 version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).
37
38 If \fIlength\fP is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP uses strlen() on
39 the input \fIstring\fP to find out the size.
40
41 You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
42 .SH ENCODING
43 libcurl is typically not aware of, nor does it care about, character
44 encodings. \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP encodes the data byte-by-byte into the
45 URL encoded version without knowledge or care for what particular character
46 encoding the application or the receiving server may assume that the data
47 uses.
48
49 The caller of \fIcurl_easy_escape(3)\fP must make sure that the data passed in
50 to the function is encoded correctly.
51 .SH AVAILABILITY
52 Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_escape(3)\fP function.
53 .SH RETURN VALUE
54 A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
55 .SH EXAMPLE
56 .nf
57 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
58 if(curl) {
59 char *output = curl_easy_escape(curl, "data to convert", 15);
60 if(output) {
61 printf("Encoded: %s\\n", output);
62 curl_free(output);
63 }
