Function

GLib-2.0 ▶ GLib ▶ uri_unescape_segmentSince 2.16

  • Unescapes a segment of an escaped string.

    If any of the characters in illegal_characters or the NUL character appears as an escaped character in escaped_string, then that is an error and null will be returned. This is useful if you want to avoid for instance having a slash being expanded in an escaped path element, which might confuse pathname handling.

    Note: NUL byte is not accepted in the output, in contrast to g_uri_unescape_bytes().

    Parameters

    • Optionalescaped_string: string

      A string, may be null

    • Optionalescaped_string_end: string

      Pointer to end of escaped_string, may be null

    • Optionalillegal_characters: string

      An optional string of illegal characters not to be allowed, may be null

    Returns string

    an unescaped version of escaped_string, or null on error. The returned string should be freed when no longer needed. As a special case if null is given for escaped_string, this function will return null.
