strings - find and output the printable strings in a file
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
ssttrriinnggss [ -_l_e_n_g_t_h ] [ -chopt ] [ -e _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ] [ _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e ] ...
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
ssttrriinnggss looks for sequences of printable characters in a file and
outputs them, if they are longer than _l_e_n_g_t_h. The default for
_l_e_n_g_t_h is 4.
If there is more than one _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e specified, the name of the file
is output before any text from that file.
If there is no filename specified, ssttrriinnggss will read from standard
input.
OOPPTTIIOONNSS
--_l_e_n_g_t_h Output sequences at least as long as _l_e_n_g_t_h.
--cc Output only strings which end with a NUL or LF character.
--hh Display a longer help message.
--oo Precede each output string by its decimal offset from the
beginning of the file (in decimal).
--pp Prefix each output with the name of the input file.
--tt Consider the TAB character to be a printable character.
--ee Interpret all subsequent arguments as filenames, even if
the argument begins with '-'.
Options can be given within a single argument. All options apply
to all filenames.
BBUUGGSS
If you have a file which contains a sequence of printable
characters longer than 4096 bytes, ssttrriinnggss will puke.
