Uri.unescapeSegment

string unescapeSegment(string escapedString = null, string escapedStringEnd = null, string illegalCharacters = null)

Unescapes a segment of an escaped string.

If any of the characters in illegal_characters or the NUL character appears as an escaped character in escaped_string, then that is an error and null will be returned. This is useful if you want to avoid for instance having a slash being expanded in an escaped path element, which might confuse pathname handling.

Note

NUL byte is not accepted in the output, in contrast to

glib.uri.Uri.unescapeBytes.

Parameters

escapedStringA string, may be null
escapedStringEndPointer to end of escaped_string, may be null
illegalCharactersAn optional string of illegal characters not to be allowed, may be null

Returns

an unescaped version of escaped_string,

or null on error. The returned string should be freed when no longer needed. As a special case if null is given for escaped_string, this function will return null.
