36 | <title>Description</title> | |
37 | ||
38 | <para><command>systemd-escape</command> may be used to escape | |
39 | strings for inclusion in systemd unit names. The command may be | |
40 | used to escape and to undo escaping of strings.</para> | |
41 | ||
42 | <para>The command takes any number of strings on the command line, | |
cd72d204 | 43 | and will process them individually, one after another. It will |
798d3a52 ZJS |
44 | output them separated by spaces to stdout.</para> |
45 | ||
b938cb90 | 46 | <para>By default, this command will escape the strings passed, |
798d3a52 | 47 | unless <option>--unescape</option> is passed which results in the |
a8eaaee7 JE |
48 | inverse operation being applied. If <option>--mangle</option> is given, a |
49 | special mode of escaping is applied instead, which assumes the | |
50 | string is already escaped but will escape everything that | |
798d3a52 | 51 | appears obviously non-escaped.</para> |

89 | <listitem><para>When escaping or unescaping a string, assume it refers to a file system path. This eliminates |
90 | leading, trailing or duplicate <literal>/</literal> characters and rejects <literal>.</literal> and | |
91 | <literal>..</literal> path components. This is particularly useful for generating strings suitable for | |
92 | unescaping with the <literal>%f</literal> specifier in unit files, see | |
