NAME
     Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     char
     Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)

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

     int    *countPtr   (out)     If   countPtr    isn't    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  compati-  |
     bility 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 modi-
     fies *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.
