| "-a" | |
| "--all" | |
| "-" | Do not scan only the initialized and loaded sections of object files; scan the whole files. |
| "-f" | |
| "--print-file-name" | Print the name of the file before each string. |
| "--help" | Print a summary of the program usage on the standard output and exit. |
| "-min-len" | |
| "-n min-len" | |
| "--bytes=min-len" | Print sequences of characters that are at least min-len characters long, instead of the default 4. |
| "-o" | Like -t o. Some other versions of strings have -o act like -t d instead. Since we can not be compatible with both ways, we simply chose one. |
| "-t radix" | |
| "--radix=radix" | Print the offset within the file before each string. The single character argument specifies the radix of the offset---o for octal, x for hexadecimal, or d for decimal. |
| "-e encoding" | |
| "--encoding=encoding" | Select the character encoding of the strings that are to be found. Possible values for encoding are: s = single-7-bit-byte characters (ASCII, ISO 8859, etc., default), S = single-8-bit-byte characters, b = 16-bit bigendian, l = 16-bit littleendian, B = 32-bit bigendian, L = 32-bit littleendian. Useful for finding wide character strings. |
| "--target=bfdname" | Specify an object code format other than your system’s default format. |
| "-v" | |
| "--version" | Print the program version number on the standard output and exit. |
