NAME
       cgiEscape - HTML escape certain characters in a string

SYNOPSYS
       #include <cgi.h>

       char *cgiEscape (char *string);

DESCRIPTION
       This  function returns a pointer to a sanitised string.	It converts <,

       any  danger  of	cross-site  scripting in a browser.  The result may be
       passed to free(3) after use.  This routine is meant to be called before
       any user provided strings are returned to the browser.

RETURN VALUE
       cgiEscape()  returns  a pointer to the sanitised string or NULL in case
       of error.
