### 14.2 Using quotes and backslashes

You can use quotes (`"`) in a command to embed spaces into file names. For instance,

    read some file

will read file `some` from the disk image and write it into the file system as `file`, while

    read "some file"

will copy `some file` into the file system, with the name `some file`.

The backslash character (`\`) has a special meaning too: it lets you literally insert the following character no matter what it is. For example,

    read some\ file

will copy file `some file` into the file system, while

    read some\ file this\"file

will copy `some file` into the file system with name `this"file` (with an embedded quote).
