 Does nothing at all.  Any number of bytes represented as hex digits
 \fIhh\fR may be included.  Pairs of hex digits may be separated by
 periods for readability.

+payload, so the provided bytes will be padded on the right by enough
+bytes with value 0 to make the total number 6 more than a multiple of
+8.
