NAME
       curl_unescape - URL decodes the given string

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       char *curl_unescape( char *url, int length );

DESCRIPTION
       This  function  will  convert  the given URL encoded input string to a
       "plain string" and return that as a new allocated  string.  All	input
       characters that are URL encoded (%XX where XX is a two-digit hexadeci-
       mal number) will be converted to their plain text versions.

       If the ’length’	argument  is  set  to  0,  curl_unescape()  will  use
       strlen() on the input ’url’ string to find out the size.

       You must curl_free() the returned string when you’re done with it.

RETURN VALUE
       A pointer to a zero terminated string or NULL if it failed.
