SYNOPSIS
urlencode [-m|-d] string [string ...]DESCRIPTION
urlencode encodes strings according to RFC 1738.That is, characters A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ and - are passed through unmodified, but all other characters are represented as %HH, where HH is their two-digit upper-case hexadecimal ASCII representation. For example, the URL http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/ becomes http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gridpp.ac.uk%2F
urlencode converts each character in all the strings given on the command line. If multiple strings are given, they are concatenated with separating spaces before conversion.
OPTIONS
- -m
-
Instead of full conversion, do GridSite "mild URL encoding" in which A-Z a-z
0-9 . = - _ @ and / are passed through unmodified. This results in slightly
more human-readable strings but the application must be prepared to create
or simulate the directories implied by any slashes.
- -d
-
Do URL-decoding rather than encoding, according to RFC 1738. %HH and %hh
strings are converted and other characters are passed through unmodified,
with the exception that + is converted to space.
EXIT CODES
0 is always returned.
