NAME
strings - extract printable strings
SYNOPSIS
strings [ -m min ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Strings finds and prints strings containing min (default 6) or more
consecutive printable UTF-encoded characters in a (typically) binary
file, default standard input. Printable characters are taken to be
ASCII characters from blank through tilde (hexadecimal 20 through 7E),
inclusive, and all other characters from value 00A0 to FFFF. Strings
reports the decimal offset within the file at which the string starts
and the text of the string. If the string is longer than 70 runes the
line is terminated by three dots and the printing is resumed on the
next line with the offset of the continuation line.
