Meta-Commands

Anything you enter in psql that begins with an unquoted backslash is a 
psql meta-command that is processed by psql itself. These commands make 
psql more useful for administration or scripting. Meta-commands are 
often called slash or backslash commands.
"


\ commands are a psql feature, so they are potentially affected.
