 * An hexadecimal string is for example:                       *
 *  010A 0b00Ff                                                *

/***************************************************************
 * A mixed string permits to represent data as a clear form    *
 * using hexadecimal and text.                                 *
 * Hexadecimal is used without "0x" or "0h"                    *
 * Text is included between apostrophes "'"                    *
 * The character ' is ''                                       *
 * For example :                                               *
 *   'hello' : data "hello"                                    *
 *   'a' 'b' : data "ab"                                       *
 *   41 'b'  : data "Ab" (because 'A'==0x41)                   *
 *   'man'00 : data "man" ending with 0x00                     *
 *   'a''b'  : data "a'b"                                      *
 * Real examples :                                             *
 *  'hello' 0D 0A 'this is after a newline'                    *
 *  'one' 09 'two' 0D 0A                                       *

 *     When end is reached, without reading data, error        *
 *     NETWIB_ERR_DATAEND is returned.                         *
 *   Quoted strings (ex : "aa", "a\nb") :                      *
 *     Char '\' can be used before any char. It means the      *

 *     the last ". If it is not found, error                   *
 *     NETWIB_ERR_DATANOTAVAIL is returned (nothing is saved   *
 *     in pbuf).                                               *
