Function
GLibstrcompress
Declaration [src]
gchar*
g_strcompress (
  const gchar* source
)
Description [src]
Makes a copy of a string replacing C string-style escape sequences with their one byte equivalent:
- \b→ U+0008 Backspace
- \f→ U+000C Form Feed
- \n→ U+000A Line Feed
- \r→ U+000D Carriage Return
- \t→ U+0009 Horizontal Tabulation
- \v→ U+000B Vertical Tabulation
- \followed by one to three octal digits → the numeric value (mod 255)
- \followed by any other character → the character as is. For example,- \\will turn into a backslash (- \) and- \"into a double quote (- ").
g_strescape() does the reverse conversion.
