### prda_QuoteChar

Given a character code 0-255, the function puts the proper information into the buffer so that a show command in PostScript will display the character with this code. This will be one, two, or four bytes of printable ASCII characters. Codes, such as 65 (A) and 33 (!), are copied directly. Non- printable codes, such as 255, are put in the buffer in octal form (for example, \377). Some special characters (such as parentheses) require a backslash to be placed in front of them.

Warnings:

If enough buffer space is not available to hold the quoted form of the character code, the buffer is left unchanged and a value of zero is returned.
