@findex dired-copy-filename-as-kill

you had killed them with @kbd{C-w}. The names are separated by a space.
The main purpose of this command is so that you can yank the file
names into arguments for other Emacs commands. It also displays what
was pushed onto the kill ring, so you can use it to display the list
of currently marked files in the echo area. With a zero prefix
argument @var{n}=0, this uses the absolute file name of each marked
file. With just @kbd{C-u} as the prefix argument, it uses the
relative file name of each marked file. As a special case, if no
prefix argument is given and point is on a directory headerline,
@kbd{w} gives you the name of that directory without looking for
marked files.

just @kbd{C-u} as the prefix argument, it uses file names relative to
the Dired buffer's default directory. (This can still contain slashes
if in a subdirectory.) As a special case, if point is on a directory
headerline, @kbd{w} gives you the absolute name of that directory.
Any prefix argument or marked files are ignored in this case.
On the X window system, Emacs supports the ``drag and drop''
protocol. You can drag a file object from another program, and drop
