static
void
createQuotedEscapedCString(
    xref:bsl/string.adoc[bsl::string]* result,
    std::string_view const& input);
----

== Description

Load into the specified `result` string the `"` delimited and escaped C/C++ string literal equivalent representing the same value as that of the specified `input` string. When the C string literal equivalent is translated by a compiler having C‐compatible string literals, it will result in a string identical to the `input` string. Note that this code uses the (ASCII) '' character, rather than Unicode code points for escapes.

== Parameters
