tcl_backslash(3)
NAME
Tcl_Backslash - parse a backslash sequence
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h> 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 compat
ibility 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.
