24  * string_unescape - unquote characters in the given string
25  * @src:	source buffer (escaped)
26  * @dst:	destination buffer (unescaped)
27  * @size:	size of the destination buffer (0 to unlimit)
28  * @flags:	combination of the flags (bitwise OR):
29  *	%UNESCAPE_SPACE:
30  *		'\f' - form feed
31  *		'\n' - new line
32  *		'\r' - carriage return
33  *		'\t' - horizontal tab
34  *		'\v' - vertical tab
35  *	%UNESCAPE_OCTAL:
36  *		'\NNN' - byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)
37  *	%UNESCAPE_HEX:
38  *		'\xHH' - byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)
39  *	%UNESCAPE_SPECIAL:
40  *		'\"' - double quote
41  *		'\\' - backslash
42  *		'\a' - alert (BEL)
43  *		'\e' - escape
44  *	%UNESCAPE_ANY:
45  *		all previous together
46  *
47  * Returns amount of characters processed to the destination buffer excluding
48  * trailing '\0'.
49  *
50  * Because the size of the output will be the same as or less than the size of
51  * the input, the transformation may be performed in place.
52  *
53  * Caller must provide valid source and destination pointers. Be aware that
54  * destination buffer will always be NULL-terminated. Source string must be
55  * NULL-terminated as well.
