Hey Karel, here is the udev string encode code in one file as a test program. It is used to create the "safe" symlinks from untrusted user-supplied filesystem metadata. It hex-encodes all non-plain ascii chars, but preserves fully-validet utf8 character sequences, to not discriminate non-latin languages. Without libvolume_id, we may need to add something like this to your libblkid version to find the udev links. Alternatively we could link against libudev, but including the code may be the straight-forward and simpler solution. It looks like: $ ./udev-escape plain: '+I'm a string with spaces+slash/+printf%i+backslash\+dollar$+backtick`+semicolon;+valid_utf8ä+invalid_utf8���+' enc: '+I\x27m\x20a\x20string\x20with\x20spaces+slash\x2f+printf\x25i+backslash\x5c+dollar\x24+backtick\x60+semicolon\x3b+valid_utf8ä+invalid_utf8\x82\x83\x84+' Cheers, Kay
