  24. .SH NAME
    25. 

  25. curl_easy_unescape - URL decodes the given string
    26. 

  26. .SH SYNOPSIS
    27. 

  27. .B #include <curl/curl.h>
    28. 

  28. .sp
    29. 

  29. .BI "char *curl_easy_unescape( CURL *" curl ", char *" url ", int "inlength
    30. 

  30. .BI ", int *" outlength " );"
    31.

    32. 

  32. .SH DESCRIPTION
    33. 

  33. This function converts the given URL encoded input string to a "plain string"
    34. 

  34. and returns that in an allocated memory area. All input characters that are
    35. 

  35. URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number) are converted to
    36. 

  36. their binary versions.
    37. 

  37. 

  38. If the \fBlength\fP argument is set to 0 (zero), \fIcurl_easy_unescape(3)\fP
    39. 

  39. will use strlen() on the input \fIurl\fP string to find out the size.
    40. 

  40. 

  41. If \fBoutlength\fP is non-NULL, the function will write the length of the
    42. 

  42. returned string in the integer it points to. This allows an escaped string
    43. 

  43. containing %00 to still get used properly after unescaping.
    44. 

  44. 

  45. You must \fIcurl_free(3)\fP the returned string when you're done with it.
    46. 

  46. .SH AVAILABILITY
    47. 

  47. Added in 7.15.4 and replaces the old \fIcurl_unescape(3)\fP function.
    48. 

  48. .SH RETURN VALUE
    49. 

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