                                    backslash sequence,  including  the  back-

DESCRIPTION
       The use of TTccllBBaacckkssllaasshh is deprecated in favor of TTccllUUttffBBaacckkssllaasshh.    |

       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.  TTccllBBaacckkssllaasshh 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 TTccllBBaacckkssllaasshh.
