scan_ldapescape(3)	    Library Functions Manual	      scan_ldapescape(3)

NAME
     scan_ldapescape - parse LDIF escaped string

SYNTAX
     #include <libowfat/textcode.h>

     size_t scan_ldapescape(const char *src,char *dest,size_t* destlen);

DESCRIPTION
     scan_ldapescape parses LDIF escaped text from src into dest.  Parsing stops
     at the 0 terminator or invalid input characters.

     This  function  will  turn  backslash  escaped characters into their binary
     equivalent, i.e.  a to new-line and 5c to backslash.

     scan_cescape will then write the number of bytes in dest into *destlen, and
     return the number of bytes decoded from src.

     dest can be NULL. destlen can be NULL. dest can be src.

     The decoded data need at most as much space as the encoded data used.

RETURN VALUE
     scan_ldapescape returns the number of bytes successfully parsed from src.

EXAMPLES
     scan_ldapescape("test5C\");",buf,&i) -> return 7, i=5, buf="test\" (C nota-
     tion).
