Just wanted to let you know that less prints
/tmp\ is a directory
when it is not, perhaps due to the similar named nearby real directory.

$ ls -ld /tmp*
drwxrwxrwt 6 root    root      220 11-29 06:57 /tmp
-rw-r--r-- 1 jidanni jidanni 16384 1980-01-01  /tmp\
$ more /tmp\\|wc
      0       0   16384
$ less /tmp\\|wc
/tmp\ is a directory
      0       0       0
$ file /tmp\\
/tmp\: data
$ od -c /tmp\\
0000000  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0

# rm /tmp\\ # let's get rid of this file... which was probably created via typo
