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.
