> Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t slashes typically reserved for flags on Unix and back slashes on dos/windows? Forward slash (/) in DOS, while dash, tack, or hyphen (-) are used for UNIX for command line flags or parameters. The / in UNIX was for the path. The backslash (\) is for DOS paths. (Caveat: I started with UNIX in the mid-80s.)
