Is working with files different on Linux and Windows?

Question

go

Hey! Now from under Linux I am writing a program in which I will work with the file system.
For example, to get access to the "files" folder, which is located in the same place as the server file, "/files/" is passed to the function. On linux everything works great now, but I'm going to compile under windows, will it work there? It's like / == \ on the command line.

Answer 1

On Windows, both "\" and "/" can be used as path separators.

Answer 2

Windows understands forward and backslashes. BUT. In practice, sometimes there were problems, in particular, when automating MS Word, it worked only with a backslash.
