19 /* Usage: strings [options] file...
21 Options:
22 --all
24 - Scan each file in its entirety.
26 --data
27 -d Scan only the initialized data section(s) of object files.
29 --print-file-name
30 -f Print the name of the file before each string.
32 --bytes=min-len
33 -n min-len
34 -min-len Print graphic char sequences, MIN-LEN or more bytes long,
35 that are followed by a NUL or a newline. Default is 4.
37 --radix={o,x,d}
38 -t {o,x,d} Print the offset within the file before each string,
39 in octal/hex/decimal.
41 --include-all-whitespace
42 -w By default tab and space are the only whitepace included in graphic
43 char sequences. This option considers all of isspace() valid.
45 -o Like -to. (Some other implementations have -o like -to,
46 others like -td. We chose one arbitrarily.)
48 --encoding={s,S,b,l,B,L}
49 -e {s,S,b,l,B,L}
50 Select character encoding: 7-bit-character, 8-bit-character,
51 bigendian 16-bit, littleendian 16-bit, bigendian 32-bit,
52 littleendian 32-bit.
54 --target=BFDNAME
55 -T {bfdname}
56 Specify a non-default object file format.
58 --output-separator=sep_string
59 -s sep_string String used to separate parsed strings in output.
60 Default is newline.
62 --help
63 -h Print the usage message on the standard output.
65 --version
67 -v Print the program version number.
