NAME
strings - find the printable strings in a binary file
SYNOPSIS
strings [ -o ] [ -number ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
strings looks for ascii strings in a binary file. A string is any
sequence of 4 or more printing characters ending with a null.
If the -o flag is given, then each string is preceded by its offset
in the file (in hexadecimal). If the -number flag is given then
number is used as the minimum string length rather than 4.
If no file is specified, or - is specified as a file, standard
input will be used.
RETURN CODES
0 if all went well
1 in case of bad arguments (fatal)
2 if at least one file couldn't be opened (non fatal)
CHANGES FROM UNIX
-a and - options not supported
offset in hexadecimal (instead of octal)
