The -online option to the 'ip link', 'ip addr', and perhaps others is 
putting out a backslash in places where a newline character should go, 
as so:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode 
DEFAULT group default qlen 1000\    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 
00:00:00:00:00:00
