sed is a utility which reads input and does modifications to it then outputs it.
thr s///g means "do a string substitute with this regex on all occurances of
the regex". The item in between the first // is "\/" which is a backslash
escaped, the item in the second // is '_'. So this says send the fourth
command line parameter into sed, changing all backslashes into underscores.
