cgi_url_unescape(3)

✨ cgi_url_unescape ✨

okay bestie, so we're in cgi/cgi.h territory, and this little function is cgi_url_unescape(3) 💖 — literally the girl who takes your URL-encoded mess and makes it readable again.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <cgi/cgi.h>

char *cgi_url_unescape (char *buf);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• buf — a 0 terminated string, periodt. that's the whole vibe check.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea 🫖: cgi_url_unescape does URL unescaping on the string you hand it. and like… it modifies the string in place 👀 no copy, no new buffer, she's editing your string right where it sits. main character behavior fr fr.

what does she actually decode? two things, no cap:

• any %XX character — decoded ✨
• + — decoded as a space 💖

that's it. that's the whole job. iconic.
