1 "STR", '.string32' "STR", '.string64' "STR"
1 
1    Copy the characters in STR to the object file.  You may specify more
1 than one string to copy, separated by commas.  Unless otherwise
1 specified for a particular machine, the assembler marks the end of each
1 string with a 0 byte.  You can use any of the escape sequences described
1 in ⇒Strings Strings.
1 
1    The variants 'string16', 'string32' and 'string64' differ from the
1 'string' pseudo opcode in that each 8-bit character from STR is copied
1 and expanded to 16, 32 or 64 bits respectively.  The expanded characters
1 are stored in target endianness byte order.

1    Example:
1      	.string32 "BYE"
1      expands to:
1      	.string   "B\0\0\0Y\0\0\0E\0\0\0"  /* On little endian targets.  */
1      	.string   "\0\0\0B\0\0\0Y\0\0\0E"  /* On big endian targets.  */
