Unless you're using a UNIX shell on Windows/DOS the \ is a file
separator to the shell (such as it is) and the / (not -) is an "option
inducer" passed to the application. However, the / is legal (and
documented) as a separator, and should be used to avoid confusing the
application parsing. Actually, both \ and / work as path delimiters at
the system call level.
Of course if you're running bash or some such on MS software, the
parsing is more or less POSIX behaviour, and the \ can vanish.
