  31. DESCRIPTION
  32.      This is a utility procedure used by several of the Tcl  com-
  33.      mands.   It parses a backslash sequence and returns the sin-
  34.      gle character corresponding to the sequence.   Tcl_Backslash
  35.      modifies  *_c_o_u_n_t_P_t_r  to  contain the number of characters in
  36.      the backslash sequence.
  37.  
  38.      See the Tcl  manual  entry  for  information  on  the  valid
  39.      backslash  sequences.  All of the sequences described in the
  40.      Tcl manual entry are supported by Tcl_Backslash.
