SLPEscape(3SLP) Service Location Protocol Library Functions SLPEscape(3SLP)NAMESLPEscape - 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 SLP‐
True, 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 ppcOut‐
Buf 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 char‐
acters.
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 charac‐
ters.
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-exam‐
ple, 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.
