NAME
strings - extract printable strings
SYNOPSIS
strings [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Strings finds and prints strings containing 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.
