Tcl_Backslash(3)	     Tcl Library Procedures		Tcl_Backslash(3)

________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
     Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence

SYNOPSIS
     #include <tcl.h>

     char
     Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)

ARGUMENTS
     const char *src (in)	  Pointer to a string starting with a backslash.

     int *countPtr (out)	  If countPtr is not NULL, *countPtr gets filled
				  in  with number of characters in the backslash
				  sequence, including the backslash 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 re-
     turns 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.

SEE ALSO
     Tcl(n), Tcl_UtfBackslash(3)
