how can I pass a string from `sui cli` to this function?

```auto
public entry fun foo<Bar: copy + drop + store>(
        bar: Bar,
        ctx: &mut TxContext,
    ) { ... }

```

This doesn’t work.

```auto
    sui client call \
             --module foo \
             --package $PKD_ID \
             --function foo \
             --type-args "std::string::String" \
             --args "\"bar\"" \
             --gas-budget 100000000 \

```

I figured out, use `std::vector<u8>`, next question how can I pass `std::vector<u8>` as type arg in sui cli?

Probably you figured it out already, but you can pass it like this:  
`--type-args "vector<u8>"`
