An educated guess would be that the DOS command invokes the command 
processor (command.com in long-ago Windows, cmd.exe now) and passes the 
"\c" (or is it "/c"?) to it.

If in Windows you open a CMD prompt, and type 
   cmd /?
you can see what options it accepts. My output includes:
   /C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates

Further down the help display, it gives more information.
