@@ -74,9 +74,11 @@ Notice two things. First, `b3sum` puts a single `\` character at the front of
the line. This indicates that the filepath contains escape sequences that
`b3sum --check` will need to unescape. Then, `b3sum` replaces the newline
character in the filepath with the two-character escape sequence `\n`.
-Similarly, if the filepath contained a backslash, `b3sum` would escape it as
-`\\` in the output. So far, all of this behavior is still identical to
-`md5sum`.
