DESCRIPTION:

Many parameters for eccet commands take strings as arguments.
In most cases, you will only specify a single "word" (i.e.
a sequence of characters not containing whitespace). In these
cases no special quoting is necessary.
However, if you want to include whitespace in a string argument
you can quote it using single quotes like this: 'my string'.
Moreover you can use double quotes to include more strange
characters using backslash () escape sequences like in C.
Allowed escapes are r (CR), n (NL), (), t (Tab),
' ('), " ("), xYY (char with code 0xYY), OOO (char with
code OOO octal).
