:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

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.
