NAME
       strings - extract printable strings

SYNOPSIS
       strings [ -m min ] [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Strings	finds  and  prints  strings containing min (default 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.
