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 is not 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 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.
