Subject: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.3: fix incorrect C string escape in example
X-Git-Tag: curl-8_6_0~174
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9faeebca883b3d8a57ca291e4f1b80382e236b5a;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.3: fix incorrect C string escape in example

- Escape inner quotes with two backslashes.

Two backslashes escapes the backslash for the man page and will show as
a single backslash.

eg: "{\\"name\\": \\"daniel\\"}" shows as "{\"name\": \"daniel\"}".

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/12588
