Service Location Protocol Library FunctionsSLPEscape(3SLP)

NAME

 SLPEscape - escapes SLP reserved characters

SYNOPSIS

  
#include <slp.h>
SLPError SLPEscape(const char *pcInBuf, char** ppcOutBuf, SLPBoolean isTag);

DESCRIPTION

 

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.

PARAMETERS

 
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.

ERRORS

 

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

EXAMPLES

 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);

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

 

SLP_CONF_FILE
When set, use this file for configuration.
