Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence








#include <tcl.h>

char
Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)









  
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.
    
    

    

  










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.
