Glossary:

Atom.
One or more non-special characters.

Literal string.
A sequence of zero or more bytes (including CR and LF), prefix-quoted with an byte count in the form of an open brace ("{"), the number of bytes, close brace ("}"), and CRLF. In the case of literals transmitted from server to client, the CRLF is immediately followed by the data. In the case of literals transmitted from client to server, the client MUST wait to receive a command continuation request before sending the data (and the remainder of the command).

Quoted string.
A sequence of zero or more 7-bit characters, excluding CR and LF, with double quote () characters at each end.
