| Copy the characters in <var>str</var> to the object file. You may specify more than |
| one string to copy, separated by commas. Unless otherwise specified for a |
| particular machine, the assembler marks the end of each string with a 0 byte. |
| You can use any of the escape sequences described in <a href="Strings.html#Strings">Strings</a>. |
| |
| <p>The variants <code>string16</code>, <code>string32</code> and <code>string64</code> differ from |
| the <code>string</code> pseudo opcode in that each 8-bit character from <var>str</var> is |
| copied and expanded to 16, 32 or 64 bits respectively. The expanded characters |
| are stored in target endianness byte order. |
| |
| <p>Example: |
| <pre class="smallexample"> .string32 "BYE" |
| expands to: |
| .string "B\0\0\0Y\0\0\0E\0\0\0" /* On little endian targets. */ |
| .string "\0\0\0B\0\0\0Y\0\0\0E" /* On big endian targets. */ |
| </pre> |
