21 /* Usage: strings [options] file...
23 Options:
24 --all
26 - Do not scan only the initialized data section of object files.
28 --print-file-name
29 -f Print the name of the file before each string.
31 --bytes=min-len
32 -n min-len
33 -min-len Print graphic char sequences, MIN-LEN or more bytes long,
34 that are followed by a NUL or a newline. Default is 4.
36 --radix={o,x,d}
37 -t {o,x,d} Print the offset within the file before each string,
38 in octal/hex/decimal.
40 -o Like -to. (Some other implementations have -o like -to,
41 others like -td. We chose one arbitrarily.)
43 --encoding={s,S,b,l,B,L}
44 -e {s,S,b,l,B,L}
45 Select character encoding: 7-bit-character, 8-bit-character,
46 bigendian 16-bit, littleendian 16-bit, bigendian 32-bit,
47 littleendian 32-bit.
49 --target=BFDNAME
50 -T {bfdname}
51 Specify a non-default object file format.
53 --help
54 -h Print the usage message on the standard output.
56 --version
58 -v Print the program version number.
