It isn't _really_ replaced, although the command "ls" escapes all whitespace
characters. "echo *" also does that. That's to make difference between:
rm a b
(file is called "a b")
rm a b
(two files)
If you want to remove file "a b", you have two possibilities:
rm "a b"
rm a\ b
The \ indicates that the following character should be taken litteraly.
