For example, a string "foo%2fbar"will decode to "foo/bar" -- the %2f being replaced by the corresponding bytewith hex value 0x2f. Note that there is no guarantee that the resulting bytesequence is valid in any given encoding. As a special case, %00 is notunescaped to NUL, as that would prematurely terminate the string.Also note that since paths usually start with a slash, the first componentwill usually be the empty string.NULL-terminated array of URL components.
