Just want to confirm this but does an extra "/" in directory names have any effect?

such as:

cd //etc/

ll //root

TIA 🙂
 
hmm, I didn't even think that was correct syntax. No, I don't believe it changes anything other then the way the directory is displayed (I could be wrong though)
 
Not as far as I can tell but bash might be cleaning it up for me, / isn't a valid character in filenames so there's no chance of you needing to use it for anything except directory separators.

I just wrote a quick C program to test it and it worked with /tmp//////somefile too so I don't think it matters at all.
