QDBus path encoding

Chruetli

Hi

I'm moving from libsystemd-dev to QDBus. I have to get the state of a customer service called "application-ui.service". Du to the special characters I had to use sd_bus_path_encode to encode the path. This results in "application_2dui_2eservice".
Is there an equivalent method in Qt available?

Best regards
Mario

@Chruetli no one stumbled across this problem?

Hi,

One would likely use QString::replace once for each char you want to replace or this overload with a QRegularExpression.

Thank you for the answer. Honestly I expected this as some kind of magic done in background...
At the moment I will use the sd_bus_path_encode function.
The source of the function can be found at https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/basic/bus-label.c called bus_label_escape.
