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 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  se-
       quences.	  All  of  the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are
       supported by Tcl_Backslash.
