The Unexpected Importance of the Trailing Slash – Tookmund

https://tookmund.com/2022/04/importance-of-the-trailing-slash

"For many using Unix-derived systems today, we take for granted that
/some/path and /some/path/ are the same."

"However, many programs treat these two paths as subtly different in

That was an interesting read. On the back of my mind I've always noticed
some slight differences but never really realised which ones.

Very true !

Never just ASSUME - TEST !

Even a simple utility like rsync acts VERY differently
depending on whether you add that slash or not.

And whatever you write yourself - FIX whatever the
user sends as command line args or config files. If
you need, or don't need, trailing slashes then be
sure to look for them and add/remove.
