DESCRIPTION¶
urlcoding is a
collection of functions that convert ASCII-text to standard URL's and
vice-versa. The AWK code used is based on code by Heiner Steven
<heiner.steven@odn.de>
The function list:
- urlEncodeString
- Creates a URL from an ASCII string
- urlEncodeFile
- Converts a file into URL-valid text
- urlEncodeStream
- Converts standard input into URL-valid text
- urlDecodeString
- Converts a URL-encoded text back to a plain-text form
- urlDecodeFile
- Coverts URL-encoded text in a file back to plain text
- urlDecodeStream
- Converts URL-encoded standard input to text
Detailed interface description follows.
The [
-l] option for the encoding
functions should be used when line-feed characters ('\n') are to be encoded as
well.
All functions print the results of their conversions to standard output.
The exit status of all functions is that of the command 'awk', with '0' for
success
