NAME
Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
char
Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)
ARGUMENTS
char *src (in) Pointer to a string starting with a back-
slash.
int *countPtr (out) If countPtr is not NULL, *countPtr gets
filled in with number of characters in the
backslash sequence, including the back-
slash character.

DESCRIPTION
The use of Tcl_Backslash is deprecated in favor of Tcl_UtfBackslash.
This is a utility procedure provided for backwards compatibility with
non-internationalized Tcl extensions. It parses a backslash sequence
and returns the low byte of the Unicode character corresponding to the
sequence. Tcl_Backslash modifies *countPtr to contain the number of
characters in the backslash sequence.
See the Tcl manual entry for information on the valid backslash
sequences. All of the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are
supported by Tcl_Backslash.
