expandCStringEscapes

Function: expandCStringEscapes

file: job.t
package: muf
status: alpha

{ string -> string }

The expandCStringEscapes function accepts a string and returns a string in which any C-style escape sequences found have been appropriately expanded -- "\n" expanded to a newline, and so forth.

The current list of escapes recognized:

'\0'
'\a'
'\b'
'\f'
'\n'
'\r'
'\t'
'\v'

(This could certainly be coded in muf easily enough, but C-coding it seems likely to speed up the muf compiler.)
