     tracing. To unset the regex, pass **trace-regex** without a new regex.
 
     The regular expression is matched against domain queries terminated with a
-    '.'. For example the regex 'powerdns\.com$' will not match a query for
+    '.'. For example the regex 'powerdns.com$' will not match a query for
     'www.powerdns.com', since the attempted match will be with
     'www.powerdns.com.'.
 
     In addition, since this is a regular expression, to exclusively match
     queries for 'www.powerdns.com', one should escape the dots:
-    '^www\.powerdns\.com\.$'.
+    '^www\\.powerdns\\.com\\.$'. Note that the single quotes prevent
+    further interpretation of the backslashes by the shell.
 
     Multiple matches can be chained with the '|' operator. For example, to
     match all queries for Dutch (.nl) and German (.de) domain names, use:
-    '\.nl\.$|\.de\.$'.
+    '\\.nl\\.$|\\.de\\.$'.
