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
