## Name
|
|
|
|
strings - find printable strings in files
|
|
|
|
## Synopsis
|
|
|
|
```**sh
|
|
$ strings [--bytes NUMBER] [--print-file-name] [-o] [--radix FORMAT] [PATHS...]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
`strings` looks for printable strings in each file specified in `PATHS` and writes them to standard output. If `PATHS` is not specified, input is read from standard input.
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
* `-n NUMBER`, `--bytes NUMBER`: Specify the minimum string length (4 is default).
|
|
* `-f`, `--print-file-name`: Print the name of the file before each string.
|
|
* `-o`: Equivalent to specifying `-t o`.
|
|
* `-t FORMAT`, `--radix FORMAT`: Write each string preceded by its byte offset from the start of the file in the specified `FORMAT`, where `FORMAT` matches one of the following: `d` (decimal), `o` (octal), or `x` (hexidecimal).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Display the printable strings in /bin/strings with a minimum length of 8 characters:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ strings -n 8 /bin/strings
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Display the printable strings in a binary file, preceded by their byte offset in hexadecimal format:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ strings -t x ~/Videos/test.webm
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Display the printable strings in all .txt files in the current directory, preceded by their pathname:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ strings -f *.txt
|
|
```
