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

The backslash is the virtual line separator in the one line format.
It is has always been that way, and programs parse the oneline output.
