cgi_url_escape(3)

💖 cgi_url_escape(3) 💖

ok so bestie, welcome to the cgi_url_escape page — it lives in cgi/cgi.h and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, huge main character energy." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cgi_url_escape — url escape a string. that's it. that's the whole job. slay. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

NEOERR *cgi_url_escape (const char *buf, char **esc);

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• buf — a 0 terminated string. like, null-terminated, bestie. it ends when it ends. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the vibe: cgi_url_escape does URL escaping on the string you hand it, and it gives you back a newly allocated string that's all escaped and cute. 🫶

and which characters get escaped, you ask? glad you asked, queen. it's:

• control characters 😭
• %
• ?
• +
• space
• =
• &
• /
• "

that's the list. all of them. periodt. 💅

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

• esc — a newly allocated string ✨ (yes, newly allocated, so it's yours to deal with, iykyk — no borrowing going on here)
