The flags that are supported are similar to those supported by the standard Unix strings command:
-a | Search the entire file. This flag is present for command-line compatibility: this strings command always searches files in their entirety. |
-o | Also show the offset of each string found. The offset is shown in hexadecimal and not octal, unlike the Unix strings command. |
-# | Specifiy a number for #. Strings must have a minimum length of # characters before they are shown. The default minimum number of characters is 4. |
-s | Descend subdirectories, also. |
-S | Search system and hidden files, also.
