 No.
 It's a command line solution.

 You need a way to tell the system that a space is not a delimeter,
 as it always is, so the \ is the "escape" character.
 It tells the system that the very next single character is to be
 taken literally, and not by its normal meaning.
 The same "escape sequence" applies to all special characters that
 have dedicated meanings.
 *, ,the \ itself, etc.
