Escaping Special Characters (\)Escaping characters are used to enable the use of control characters in the shell expansion but without interpreting it by the shell. Example: Look at the above snapshot, we have shown the use of some special characters. Ending A Line (\)A backslash when used at the end of a line, will direct you to the next line. The shell doesn't interpret the escaping character and wait for the execution until a new line ends without a backslash. Look at the above snapshot, all the lines are ended with a backslash (\).
