17# `--form-string`

19Similar to --form except that the value string for the named parameter is used
20literally. Leading @ and \< characters, and the `;type=` string in the value
21have no special meaning. Use this in preference to --form if there is any
22possibility that the string value may accidentally trigger the @ or \<
23features of --form.
