19 /* Usage: strings [options] file...
21 Options:
22 --all
24 - Do not scan only the initialized data section of object files.
26 --print-file-name
27 -f Print the name of the file before each string.
29 --bytes=min-len
30 -n min-len
31 -min-len Print graphic char sequences, MIN-LEN or more bytes long,
32 that are followed by a NUL or a newline. Default is 4.
34 --radix={o,x,d}
35 -t {o,x,d} Print the offset within the file before each string,
36 in octal/hex/decimal.
38 -o Like -to. (Some other implementations have -o like -to,
39 others like -td. We chose one arbitrarily.)
41 --target=BFDNAME
42 Specify a non-default object file format.
44 --help
45 -h Print the usage message on the standard output.
47 --version
48 -v Print the program version number.
