- Limit results to strings at least n characters long:

`strings {{[-n|--bytes]}} {{n}} {{path/to/file}}`

- Prefix each result with its offset within the file:

`strings {{[-t|--radix]}} d {{path/to/file}}`

- Prefix each result with its offset within the file in hexadecimal:

`strings {{[-t|--radix]}} x {{path/to/file}}`
