gst-launch syntax question

[Johnny G. Mills]

Hey community,

First a small introduction. I'm Johnny G. Mills from Spotcrowd.com a
start-up doing retail video surveillance.
Started with GStreamer (and C) a month ago.

when using gst_parse_launch / CLI I don't understand the backslash. Example:
src:
http://wiki.oz9aec.net/index.php/Gstreamer_cheat_sheet#Encoding_and_Muxing

gst-launch
> ​-1.0​
> videotestsrc num-buffers=500 ! video/x-raw-yuv, framerate=25/1, width=640,
> height=360 ! x264enc \ ! mpegtsmux ! filesink location=test.ts


What does this do?

Thank you,
