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.
