# Method GTK2.TextIter()->backward_chars()

Method backward_chars

  `int backward_chars(int count)`

Description

  Moves count characters backward, if possible (if count would mmove past the start or end of the buffer, moves to the start or end of the buffer). The return value indicates whether the iterator moved onto a dereferenceable position; if it didn't move, or moved onto the end iterator, then false is returned. If count is 0, the function does nothing and returns false.
