STRINGS !!!STRINGS NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS SEE ALSO COPYRIGHT ---- !!NAME strings - print the strings of printable characters in files. !!SYNOPSIS strings [[__-afov__] [[__-__''min-len''] [[__-n__ ''min-len''] [[__--bytes=__''min-len''] [[__-t__ ''radix''] [[__--radix=__''radix''] [[__-e__ ''encoding''] [[__--encoding=__''encoding''] [[__-__] [[__--all__] [[__--print-file-name__] [[__--target=__''bfdname''] [[__--help__] [[__--version__] ''file''... !!DESCRIPTION For each ''file'' given, GNU __strings__ prints the printable character sequences that are at least 4 characters long (or the number given with the options below) and are followed by an unprintable character. By default, it only prints the strings from the initialized and loaded sections of object files; for other types of files, it prints the strings from the whole file. __strings__ is mainly useful for determining the contents of non-text files. !!OPTIONS __-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-byte characters ( ASCII , ISO 8859, etc., default), __b__ = 16-bit Bigendian, __l__ = 16-bit Littleendian, __B__ = 32-bit Bigendian, __L__ = 32-bit Littleendian. Useful for finding wide character strings. __--target=__''bfdname'' Specify an object code format other than your system's default format. __-v__ __--version__ Print the program version number on the standard output and exit. !!SEE ALSO ar(1), nm(1), objdump(1), ranlib(1), readelf(1) and the Info entries for ''binutils''. !!COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1991, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
