string consists of a list of ASCII characters, octal or hex bytes, or special
symbols. You must enclose the entire sequence of characters in quotation
marks. An octal byte consists of a backslash character followed by the octal
value. For example, octal 40 is represented by \040. A hex byte consists
of a backslash character and a character x followed by the hex value. For
example, hex 40 is represented by \x40. The two special symbols, \r for
a carriage return character and \n for a linefeed character, are a more
convenient method for inserting the carriage return and linefeed characters
into the string as shown in this example: "F3R5T1\r\n". Because the
carriage return can be represented equally well in hex, \xD and \r are
equivalent strings.
