strings is mainly useful for determining the contents of non-text files.
Tag | Description |
---|---|
-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. |
-T bfdname | |
--target=bfdname | Specify an object code format other than your systems default format. |
-v | |
--version | Print the program version number on the standard output and exit. |
@file |
Read command-line options from file. The options read are
inserted in place of the original @file option. If file
does not exist, or cannot be read, then the option will be treated
literally, and not removed.
Options in file are separated by whitespace. A whitespace character may be included in an option by surrounding the entire option in either single or double quotes. Any character (including a backslash) may be included by prefixing the character to be included with a backslash. The file may itself contain additional @file options; any such options will be processed recursively. |
