       char
       Tcl_Backslash(src, countPtr)

       char   *src	  (in)	    Pointer  to a string starting with a back‐
				    slash.

       int    *countPtr	  (out)	    If countPtr	 isn't	NULL,  *countPtr  gets

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       This  is	 a  utility procedure used by several of the Tcl commands.  It
       parses a backslash sequence and returns	the  single  character	corre‐
       sponding	 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.
