Is there a package (or command) to escape filesystem paths?

Question

I see this is one option:

c:$\backslash$subd1$\backslash$subsubd1

for representing

c:\subd1\subsubd1

is there something that leaves the TeX a bit more human-readable, such as

\escape{c:\subd1\subsubd1}

Also, there is also \textbackslash which you can use instead of $\backslash$ . — Martin Scharrer, Jul 02 '13 at 16:38
Thanks martin/marco, it was a duplicate. Not sure how my search didn't turn that up. Perhaps because I didn't include verbatim anywhere in my searches (I knew it didn't wrap the way I wanted and the lstlistings package seemed like overkill) — Hamy, Jul 02 '13 at 17:05

The package url provides also the command \path{}:

\usepackage{url}%loaded by hyperref by default
.....
\path{c:\subd1\subsubd1}

Here the small MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\begin{document}
\path{c:\subd1\subsubd1}
\end{document}

I am sure we have a similar question somewhere. – Marco Daniel Jul 02 '13 at 16:30
