What is the reason that tools.c -> strwordtok() eats all '\' characters ?

Because strwordtok splits strings into words according to UNIX "shell" syntax. The \ is a special escape character in such context.

From formal point of view strwordtok has nothing conmmon with shell syntax.

If you still can't understand - give something like "\n\t\r\f\b\a" to strwordtok
