20 /* Usage: strings [options] file...
25 - Do not scan only the initialized data section of object files.
28 -f Print the name of the file before each string.
32 -min-len Print graphic char sequences, MIN-LEN or more bytes long,
33 that are followed by a NUL or a newline. Default is 4.
36 -t {o,x,d} Print the offset within the file before each string,
39 -o Like -to. (Some other implementations have -o like -to,
40 others like -td. We chose one arbitrarily.)
42 --encoding={s,S,b,l,B,L}
44 Select character encoding: 7-bit-character, 8-bit-character,
45 bigendian 16-bit, littleendian 16-bit, bigendian 32-bit,
49 Specify a non-default object file format.
52 -h Print the usage message on the standard output.
55 -v Print the program version number.
