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. </PRE> <H2>RETURN VALUE</H2><PRE> A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed. </PRE> <H2>SEE ALSO</H2><PRE> <I>curl</I><B>_</B><I>unescape(),</I> <I>curl</I><B>_</B><I>free(),</I> <I>RFC</I> <I>2396</I> </PRE> <HR> <ADDRESS> Man(1) output converted with <a href="http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/man2html.html">man2html</a> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
