"""This is similar to expect(), but uses plain string matching instead
of compiled regular expressions in 'pattern_list'. The 'pattern_list'
may be a string; a list or other sequence of strings; or TIMEOUT and
EOF.
This call might be faster than expect() for two reasons: string
searching is faster than RE matching and it is possible to limit the
search to just the end of the input buffer.
This method is also useful when you don't want to have to worry about
escaping regular expression characters that you want to match."""
