| # `--form-string` | |
| Similar to --form except that the value string for the named parameter is used | |
| literally. Leading @ and \< characters, and the `;type=` string in the value | |
| have no special meaning. Use this in preference to --form if there is any | |
| possibility that the string value may accidentally trigger the @ or \< | |
| features of --form. |
