What does my sq l_escape_string do exactly?

[VVM Ravikumar Sarma Chengalvala]

Hi,
I am working on with mysql_escape_string() what it
does precisely is to copy the content from source
string to destination string.
It's not introducing the additional backslash
character ("\\") required if I need to save a string
like"abc\def".

If we enter the string as "abc\\def" then it is stored
in the DataBase as "abc\def".If we have to externally
introduce the back slash into the string to store
,then what does this my sql function do?

Regards,
Ravi
