I find an interesting thing about linux bash. After I typed cd //
in linux bash.Guess what happend? The directory became //
,then I pwd
,the directory is //
. But I don't know what happend to the bash.
That's what should have happened.
When you did cd //
, the system changed your directory to /
. So pwd will tell you (correctly) that you are in //
. (Refer to the answer linked in the comments to understand why multiple slashes are the same as a single slash).
If you do an ls
after your cd //
command you'll see a lot of folders that are mounted on /
.
Nothing 'happened to the bash'.
If you do a cd
, it will take you back to your more famliar $home
.
