pathname separator
<file system> The character used to separate elements of a path or 
pathname. Under Unix and POSIX.1 compliant systems the pathname separator is the 
(forward) slash, in MS-DOS backslash serves the same purpose. For obvious 
reasons the no directory or file name can contain this character.
