.. llvm-strings [options] [input...] llvm-strings is a tool intended as a drop-in replacement for GNU\(aqs strings, which looks for printable strings in files and writes them to the standard output stream. A printable string is any sequence of four (by default) or more printable ASCII characters. The end of the file, or any other byte, terminates the current sequence. llvm-strings looks for strings in each input file specified. Unlike GNU strings it looks in the entire input file, regardless of file format, rather than restricting the search to certain sections of object files. If "-" is specified as an input, or no input is specified, the program reads from the standard input stream. NDENT 0.0 NDENT 3.5

--all, -a Silently ignored. Present for GNU strings compatibility. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--bytes=<length>, -n Set the minimum number of printable ASCII characters required for a sequence of bytes to be considered a string. The default value is 4. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--help, -h Display a summary of command line options. NINDENT NDENT 0.0

--help-list Display an uncategorized summary of command line options. NINDENT NDENT 0.0
