They actually do document these. Go to a command prompt and type:

cmd /?

Or

help cmd

(Both produce the same output)

Enjoy!

try DOS /C DIR

An educated guess would be that the DOS command invokes the command rocessor 
(command.com in long-ago Windows, cmd.exe now) and passes the \c" (or is it 
"/c"?) to it.
If in Windows you open a CMD prompt, and type
  cmd /?
ou can see what options it accepts. My output includes:
  /C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
Further down the help display, it gives more information.

 DOS \c test.bat

 What does \c mean?  Are there other arguments like \z or \x  that it can take?
