Problem in Script !

#!/bin/ksh

cat queue.data | \
while read line
do

echo "$line"\c

done
----------------

In the above script , we are piping the output of cat command to \ and then
we are reading each line and doing something in loop.

Whats the objective or significance of using \ after | (pipe) ?

Please guide me in that !
Thanks in Advance.
