scan_urlencoded(3)	   Library Functions Manual	    scan_urlencoded(3)

NAME
       scan_urlencoded - decode	urlencoded data

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/textcode.h>

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

DESCRIPTION
       scan_urlencoded	decodes	 urlencoded data from src into dest.  Decoding
       stops when it encounters	any invalid input characters (including	 '  ',
       '?' and '&').

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

       Note that the  plus  character  is  handled  differently	 depending  on
       whether	we are encoding	the query part or the path (application/x-www-
       form-urlencoded).  In  "http://example.com/a+b?c+d",  only  the	second
       plus  can  be  decoded  as  a space character. If you want + decoded to
       space, use scan_urlencoded2.

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

RETURN VALUE
       scan_urlencoded returns the number of bytes  successfully  scanned  and
       processed from src.

EXAMPLES
       scan_urlencoded("foo%3ebar",buf,&i) -> return 9,	i=7, buf="foo.bar"

       scan_urlencoded("foo+bar",buf,&i) -> return 7, i=7, buf="foo+bar"

       scan_urlencoded2("foo+bar",buf,&i) -> return 7, i=7, buf="foo bar"
