+ * string_unescape - unquote characters in the given string
+ * @src:	source buffer (escaped)
+ * @dst:	destination buffer (unescaped)
+ * @size:	size of the destination buffer (0 to unlimit)
+ * @flags:	combination of the flags (bitwise OR):
+ *	%UNESCAPE_SPACE:
+ *		'\f' - form feed
+ *		'\n' - new line
+ *		'\r' - carriage return
+ *		'\t' - horizontal tab
+ *		'\v' - vertical tab
+ *	%UNESCAPE_OCTAL:
+ *		'\NNN' - byte with octal value NNN (1 to 3 digits)
+ *	%UNESCAPE_HEX:
+ *		'\xHH' - byte with hexadecimal value HH (1 to 2 digits)
+ *	%UNESCAPE_SPECIAL:
+ *		'\"' - double quote
+ *		'\\' - backslash
+ *		'\a' - alert (BEL)
+ *		'\e' - escape
+ *	%UNESCAPE_ANY:
+ *		all previous together
+ *
+ * Returns amount of characters processed to the destination buffer excluding
+ * trailing '\0'.
+ *
+ * Because the size of the output will be the same as or less than the size of
+ * the input, the transformation may be performed in place.
+ *
+ * Caller must provide valid source and destination pointers. Be aware that
+ * destination buffer will always be NULL-terminated. Source string must be
+ * NULL-terminated as well.
