gchar* gimp_strescape (const gchar *source, const gchar *exceptions); gchar* gimp_strcompress (const gchar *source); |
Right now all you find here is a function taken from glib-1.3 that we need in several places. Since Gimp doesn't rely on glib-1.3, we provide it here.
gchar* gimp_strescape (const gchar *source,
const gchar *exceptions); |
Escapes special characters in a string in the same way as in the C language, i.e. either with one of the sequences \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \\, \", or as a three-digit octal escape sequence \nnn.
If the list of exceptions is NULL, all ASCII control characters, the backslash character, the double-quote character, and all non-ASCII characters are escaped.
If glib > 1.3 is installed this function is identical to g_strescape(). For systems using glib-1.2 this function provides the added functionality from glib-1.3.
gchar* gimp_strcompress (const gchar *source); |
Does the opposite of g_strescape(), that is it converts escaped characters back to their unescaped form.
Escaped characters are either one of the sequences \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \\, \", or a three-digit octal escape sequence \nnn.
If glib > 1.3 is installed this function is identical to g_strcompress(). For systems using glib-1.2 this function provides the functionality from glib-1.3.
