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
