`@verb'{<char>TEXT<char>}
-------------------------

  Use the `@verb' command to print a verbatim sequence of characters.

  Like LaTeX's `\verb' command, the verbatim text can be quoted using
any unique delimiter character.  Enclose the verbatim text, including
the delimiters, in braces.  Text is printed in a fixed-width font:

     How many @verb{|@|}-escapes does one need to print this
     @verb{.@a @b @c.} string or @verb{+@'e?`!`{}\+} this?

produces

     How many @-escapes does one need to print this
     @a @b @c string or these @'e?`{}!`\ this?

  This is in contrast to `@samp' (see the previous section), whose
argument is normal Texinfo text, where the characters `@{}' are
special; with `@verb', nothing is special except the delimiter
character you choose.
