For each _f_i_l_e given, GNU ssssttttrrrriiiinnnnggggssss prints the printable char-
acter sequences that are at least 4 characters long (or the
number given with the options below) and are followed by a
NUL or newline character. By default, it only prints the
strings from the initialized data sections of object files;
for other types of files, it prints the strings from the
whole file.
ssssttttrrrriiiinnnnggggssss is mainly useful for determining the contents of
non-text files.
