From d89a3f7335bb5d9e572ecc287b300161200364eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 15:37:14 -0700 Subject: lib/string_helpers: clarify esc arg in string_escape_mem The esc argument is used to reduce which characters will be escaped. For example, using " " with ESCAPE_SPACE will not produce any escaped spaces.
