[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/452277]
is there a reason that it is mentioned here for `s'?
The strings manpage says describing the --encoding option:
"Possible values for encoding are: s = single-7-bit-byte characters
(ASCII, ISO 8859, etc., default), S = single-8-bit-byte
characters,..."
However, ISO 8859 is NOT a 7 bit encoding, but rather an 8 bit encoding.
