- _S_t_r_i_n_g_s looks for ascii strings in each of the specified
- files, or from the standard input. A string is any sequence
- of 4 or more printing characters. Unless the --aa flag is
- given, _s_t_r_i_n_g_s only looks in the initialized data space of
- object files. If the --oo flag is given, then each string is
- preceded by its decimal offset in the file. If the --_n_u_m_b_e_r
- flag is given, then _n_u_m_b_e_r is used as the minimum string
- length rather than 4.
-
- _S_t_r_i_n_g_s is useful for identifying random object files and
- many other things.
