-a --all - Do not scan only the initialized and loaded sections of object files; scan the whole files. |
-f --print-file-name Print the name of the file before each string. |
--help Print a summary of the program usage on the standard output and exit. |
-min-len -n min-len --bytes=min-len Print sequences of characters that are at least min-len characters long, instead of the default 4. |
-o Like -t o. Some other versions of strings have -o act like -t d instead. Since we can not be compatible with both ways, we simply chose one. |
-t radix --radix=radix Print the offset within the file before each string. The single character argument specifies the radix of the offset---o for octal, x for hexadecimal, or d for decimal. |
-e encoding --encoding=encoding Select the character encoding of the strings that are to be found. Possible values for encoding are: s = single-7-bit-byte characters (ASCII, ISO 8859, etc., default), S = single-8-bit-byte characters, b = 16-bit bigendian, l = 16-bit littleendian, B = 32-bit bigendian, L = 32-bit littleendian. Useful for finding wide character strings. (l and b apply to, for example, Unicode UTF-16/UCS-2 encodings). |
-T bfdname --target=bfdname Specify an object code format other than your system's default format. |
-v -V --version Print the program version number on the standard output and exit. |
