For each @var{file} given, GNU @code{strings} prints the printable
character sequences that are at least 4 characters long (or the number
given with the options below) and are followed by a NUL or newline
character. By default, it only prints the strings from the initialized
data sections of object files; for other types of files, it prints the
strings from the whole file.
@code{strings} is mainly useful for determining the contents of non-text
files.
@table @code
@item -a
@itemx --all
@itemx -
Do not scan only the initialized data section of object files; scan
the whole files.
@item -f
@itemx --print-file-name
Print the name of the file before each string.
@item -h
@itemx --help
Print a summary of the program usage on the standard output and exit.
@item -n @var{min-len}
@itemx -@var{min-len}
@itemx --bytes=@var{min-len}
Print sequences of characters that are at least @var{min-len} characters
long, instead of the default 4.
@item -o
Like @samp{-t o}.
Some other versions of @code{strings} have @samp{-o} act like @samp{-t d} instead.
Since we can not be compatible with both ways, we simply chose one.
@item -t @var{radix}
@itemx --radix=@var{radix}
Print the offset within the file before each string. The single
character argument specifies the radix of the offset---@samp{o} for
octal, @samp{x} for hexadecimal, or @samp{d} for decimal.
@item -v
@itemx --version
Print the program version number on the standard output and exit.

/* Usage: strings [options] file...
Options:
--all
-a
- Do not scan only the initialized data section of object files.
--print-file-name
-f Print the name of the file before each string.
--bytes=min-len
-n min-len
-min-len Print graphic char sequences, MIN-LEN or more bytes long,
that are followed by a NUL or a newline. Default is 4.
--radix={o,x,d}
-t {o,x,d} Print the offset within the file before each string,
in octal/hex/decimal.
-o Like -to. (Some other implementations have -o like -to,
others like -td. We chose one arbitrarily.)
--help
-h Print the usage message on the standard output.
--version
-v Print the program version number.
