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.
