NAME

       curl_escape - URL encodes the given string

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       char *curl_escape( const char *url, int length );

DESCRIPTION

       Obsolete function. Use curl_easy_escape(3) instead!

       This  function  will  convert  the  given  input string to an URL encoded string and return that as a new
       allocated string. All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9  will  be  converted  to  their  "URL
       escaped" version (%NN where NN is a two-digit hexadecimal number).

       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 curl_free() the returned string when you're done with it.

AVAILABILITY

       Since 7.15.4, curl_easy_escape(3) should be used. This function will be removed in a future release.

RETURN VALUE

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