Description
The
.bss
directive begins or resumes the BSS-type section

. It is functionally
equivalent to
.bsection .bss
.
The section
.bss
contains only uninitialized data; therefore, no object code can
be generated in this section. The section
.bss
is present in all object files,
regardless of whether it is specified. For more information, see section
3.3.4.1 Section Types

operands are placed in successive bytes beginning at the current location in the

.byte
directive accepts character strings delimited by double
quotes. Escaped characters are also allowed in both character constants and
strings. For additional information, see section
3.3.6.2 Character Constants

Examples
.byte "Hello!\0" ; 4865 6C6C 6F21 00

.byte %1111,017,15,0xF ; 0F0F 0F0F
.byte 16*4+3 ; 43
Each of the above examples is shown with the code sequence (in hexadecimal)
that it generates.
