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. |
