     _s_t_r_i_n_g_s looks for ASCII strings in a binary file.  A string
     is any sequence of 4 or more printing characters ending with
     a newline or a null.

     ----    Unless this flag is given, _s_t_r_i_n_g_s looks only in the
          initialized data space of object files.

     ----oooo   Each string is preceded by its offset in the file (in
          octal).

     ----_n_u_m_b_e_r
          The argument number is used (instead of 4) as the
          minimum string length.

     _s_t_r_i_n_g_s is useful for identifying random object files for
     example.
