Aprintable string is any sequence of four (by default) or more printable characters terminated by a <newline> or NULcharacter. Additional implementation-defined strings may be written; see <a href="../utilities/localedef.html"><i>localedef</i></a>.</p></blockquote><h4><a name="tag_04_133_04"></a>OPTIONS</h4><blockquote><p>The <i>strings</i> utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, <a href="../basedefs/xbd_chap12.html#tag_12_02">Section 12.2, Utility Syntax Guidelines</a>.</p><p>The following options shall be supported:</p><dl compact><dt><b>-a</b></dt><dd>Scan files in their entirety. If <b>-a</b> is not specified, it is implementation-defined what portion of each file is scannedfor strings.</dd><dt><b>-n </b> <i>number</i></dt><dd>Specify the minimum string length, where the <i>number</i> argument is a positive decimal integer. The default shall be 4.</dd><dt><b>-t </b> <i>format</i></dt><dd>Write each string preceded by its byte offset from the start of the file.

The <b>-a</b> and <b>-n</b> options were introduced to replace the non-conforming<b>-</b> and <b>-</b> <i>number</i> options.</p><p>The <b>-o</b> option historically means different things on different implementations. Some use it to mean " <i>offset</i> indecimal", while others use it as " <i>offset</i> in octal". Instead of trying to decide which way would be least objectionable,the <b>-t</b> option was added. It was originally named <b>-O</b> to mean "offset", but was changed to <b>-t</b> to be consistentwith <a href="../utilities/od.html"><i>od</i></a>.</p><p>The ISO C standard function <a href="../functions/isprint.html"><i>isprint</i>()</a> is restricted to a domain of<b>unsigned char</b>.
