31.SH DESCRIPTION
32.PP
33The use of \fBTcl_Backslash\fR is deprecated in favor of
34\fBTcl_UtfBackslash\fR.
35.PP
36This is a utility procedure provided for backwards compatibility with
37non-internationalized Tcl extensions.  It parses a backslash sequence and
38returns the low byte of the Unicode character corresponding to the sequence.
39\fBTcl_Backslash\fR modifies \fI*countPtr\fR to contain the number of
40characters in the backslash sequence.
41.PP
42See the Tcl manual entry for information on the valid backslash sequences.
43All of the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are supported by
44\fBTcl_Backslash\fR.
