<H2>NAME</H2><PRE>
     curl_unescape - URL decodes the given string


</PRE>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE>
     <B>#include</B> <B>&lt;curl/curl.h&gt;</B>

     <B>char</B> <B>*curl_unescape(</B> <B>char</B> <B>*</B><I>url</I><B>,</B> <B>int</B> <I>length</I> <B>);</B>


</PRE>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
     This  function  will  convert  the  given  URL encoded input
     string to a "plain string" and return that as  a  new  allo­
     cated string. All input characters that are URL encoded (%XX
     where XX is a two-digit hexadecimal number, or  +)  will  be
     converted to their plain text versions (up to a ? letter, no
     letters to the right of a ? letter will be converted).

     If the 'length' argument is set to 0,  curl_unescape()  will
     use strlen() on the input 'url' string to find out the size.

     You must 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.
