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 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. */
