SLPESCAPE(3SLP) Service Location Protocol Library Functions SLPESCAPE(3SLP)

SLPEscape - escapes SLP reserved characters

cc [ flag... ] file... -lslp [ library... ]
#include <slp.h>
SLPError SLPEscape(const char *pcInBuf, char** ppcOutBuf,
     SLPBoolean isTag);

The SLPEscape() function processes the input string in pcInbuf and escapes any SLP reserved characters. If the isTag parameter is SLPTrue, it then looks for bad tag characters and signals an error if any are found by returning the SLP_PARSE_ERROR code. The results are put into a buffer allocated by the API library and returned in the ppcOutBuf parameter. This buffer should be deallocated using SLPFree(3SLP) when the memory is no longer needed.

pcInBuf
Pointer to the input buffer to process for escape characters.

ppcOutBuf

Pointer to a pointer for the output buffer with the SLP reserved characters escaped. It must be freed using SLPFree() when the memory is no longer needed.

isTag

When true, checks the input buffer for bad tag characters.

This function or its callback may return any SLP error code. See the ERRORS section in slp_api(3SLP).

Example 1 Converting Attribute Tags

The following example shows how to convert the attribute tag ,tag-example, to on the wire format:


SLPError err;
char* escaped Chars;
err = SLPEscape(",tag-example,", &escapedChars, SLP_TRUE);

SLP_CONF_FILE
When set, use this file for configuration.
