ARGUMENTS
const char *src (in) Pointer to a string starting with a back-

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 se-
quences. All of the sequences described in the Tcl manual entry are
supported by Tcl_Backslash.
