man 1 strings
       strings  -  print  the  strings of printable characters in
       files.
DESCRIPTION
       For each file given,  GNU  strings  prints  the  printable
       character  sequences  that  are at least 4 characters long
       (or the number given with the options below) and are  fol-
       lowed  by  an  unprintable character.  By default, it only
       prints the strings from the initialized  and  loaded  sec-
       tions of object files; for other types of files, it prints
       the strings from the whole file.
