Function

GLib-2.0 ▶ GLib ▶ strcanon

strcanon(string: string, valid_chars: string, substitutor: number): string
For each character in string, if the character is not in valid_chars, replaces the character with substitutor.

Modifies string in place, and return string itself, not a copy. The return value is to allow nesting such as:
```
g_ascii_strup (g_strcanon (str, "abc", '?'))
```
In order to modify a copy, you may use GLib.strdup:
```
reformatted = g_strcanon (g_strdup (const_str), "abc", '?');
…
g_free (reformatted);
```
Parameters
- string: string
  a nul-terminated array of bytes
- valid_chars: string
  bytes permitted in string
- substitutor: number
  replacement character for disallowed bytes
Returns string
the modified string
