DESCRIPTION
       This is a utility procedure used by  several  of	 the  Tcl
       commands.   It parses a backslash sequence and returns the
       single character corresponding to the sequence.	Tcl_Back-
       slash  modifies *countPtr to contain the number of charac-
       ters 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.

KEYWORDS
