- Str searches through a binary file (e.g. a .exe or .com file) and sends any
- ASCII strings it finds to stdout. It defines a string as an uninterrupted
- sequence of printable ASCII characters terminated by a NULL, newline or return
- code (terminated string), or ended by a non-printable ASCII code (unterminated
- string). If the ending code is a printable ASCII character with the 8th bit
- set, the character is printed at the end of the string, else it is ignored.
- Each string is printed on a separate line and will wrap if the string is
- longer than 80 characters. If output is to the screen the display will pause
- every 22 lines; if output is redirected no pause occurs.
