All input characters that are not a-z, +A-Z or 0-9 will be converted to their "URL escaped" version. If a sequence of +%NN (where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number) is found in the string to +encode, that 3-letter combination will be copied to the output unmodifed, +assuming that it is an already encoded piece of data. + +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 free() the returned string when you're done with it. +.SH RETURN VALUE +A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.I curl_unescape(), RFC 2396 |
