<li>A dot-command cannot occur in the middle of an ordinary SQL
statement. In other words, a dot-command cannot occur at a
continuation prompt.
<li>Dot-commands do not recognize comments.
</ul>
<p>The arguments passed to dot-commands are parsed from the command tail,
per these rules:<br>
(1) The trailing newline and any other trailing whitespace is discarded;<br>
(2) Whitespace immediately following the dot-command name or an argument
input end bound is discarded;<br>
(3) An argument input begins with any non-whitespace character;<br>
(4) An argument input end bound depends upon its leading character thusly:<br>
(4.a) for a leading single-quote ('), a single-quote acts
as the end bound;<br>
(4.b) for a leading double-quote ("), a unescaped double-quote
acts as the end bound;<br>
(4.c) for any other leading character, the end bound is
any whitespace; and<br>
(4.d) the command tail end acts as the end bound for any argument;<br>
(5) Within a double-quoted argument input, a backslash-escaped double-quote
is part of the argument rather than its terminating quote;<br>
(6) Within a double-quoted argument, traditional C-string literal, backslash
escape sequence translation is done; and<br>
(7) for quote-bounded argument inputs, the bounding quotes are stripped.<br>
<p>The dot-commands
are interpreted by the sqlite3.exe command-line program, not by
SQLite itself. So none of the dot-commands will work as an argument
to SQLite interfaces like [sqlite3_prepare()] or [sqlite3_exec()].
