In zsh, entering any number of slashes moves me into the root directory, but as I recently noticed, in bash you can cd into // and it actually displays // instead of /.
Afterwards(///.../) it all ends up in /.
Can somebody enlighten me as to what is the difference/meaning of this?
A pathname consisting of a single slash shall resolve to the root directory of the process. A null pathname shall not be successfully resolved. A pathname that begins with two successive slashes may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although more than two leading slashes shall be treated as a single slash.
Most implementations simply treat // as /, but may still show //.
