I'm new to darwin build and just ran through the installation steps. In doing so I encountered something a wee confusing. http://opendarwin.org/projects/darwinbuild/doc/tools/ index.html#install [snip] It's not a bug, nor is it a feature. The backslash is a common documentation trick when a line is too long and needs a visual break; It indicates "type all this in." It's actually more than a documentation trick. It's a common shell "escape", and means "treat the next line as part of this line when evaluating the command". Note the "> " on the line after the "\"; this is the "secondary" shell prompt, indicating that the shell is waiting for the rest of the line. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
