Tcl_Backslash(3) Tcl Library Procedures 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 back- slash. int *countPtr (out) If countPtr isn't NULL, *countPtr gets filled in with number of characters in the backslash sequence, including the back- slash character. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION 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. SEE ALSO | Tcl(n), Tcl_UtfBackslash(3) KEYWORDS backslash, parse Tcl 8.1 Tcl_Backslash(3)
