<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>systemd-escape</command> may be used to escape
|
|
strings for inclusion in systemd unit names. The command may be
|
|
used to escape and to undo escaping of strings.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The command takes any number of strings on the command line,
|
|
and will process them individually, one after another. It will
|
|
output them separated by spaces to stdout.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>By default, this command will escape the strings passed,
|
|
unless <option>--unescape</option> is passed which results in the
|
|
inverse operation being applied. If <option>--mangle</option> is given, a
|
|
special mode of escaping is applied instead, which assumes the
|
|
string is already escaped but will escape everything that
|
|
appears obviously non-escaped.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For details on the escaping and unescaping algorithms see the relevant section in
|
|

<listitem><para>When escaping or unescaping a string, assume it refers to a file system path. This eliminates

leading, trailing or duplicate <literal>/</literal> characters and rejects <literal>.</literal> and

<literal>..</literal> path components. This is particularly useful for generating strings suitable for

|
unescaping with the <literal>%f</literal> specifier in unit files, see
