# `--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.
