DESCRIPTION
_✓S_✓t_✓r_✓i_✓n_✓g_✓s looks for ascii strings in a binary file where a
string is defined as any sequence of 4 or more printing
characters ending in a newline or a null character. The
number option is used to change the limit from 4 to the
given number. Normally _✓s_✓t_✓r_✓i_✓n_✓g_✓s will only look in the data
space of a binary file, the -a option causes the whole file
to be searched. The -o option causes strings to be printed
one per line with the octal offset of its position in the
file preceding it.
