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.
