Function Documentation

CEscape()

def google.protobuf.text_encoding.CEscape	(		text,
			as_utf8
	)

Escape a bytes string for use in an ascii protocol buffer.

text.encode('string_escape') does not seem to satisfy our needs as it
encodes unprintable characters using two-digit hex escapes whereas our
C++ unescaping function allows hex escapes to be any length.  So,
"\0011".encode('string_escape') ends up being "\\x011", which will be
decoded in C++ as a single-character string with char code 0x11.

Args:
  text: A byte string to be escaped
  as_utf8: Specifies if result should be returned in UTF-8 encoding
Returns:
  Escaped string

CUnescape()

def google.protobuf.text_encoding.CUnescape

(

text

)

Unescape a text string with C-style escape sequences to UTF-8 bytes.
