Project/Component Working Name: Add -N option to strings 1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Cynthia Eastham 1.3 Date of This Document: 06 April, 2007 4. Technical Description Add the ability to specify an ELF section name to strings(1) to allow users to inspect individual sections of a file, similar to the elfdump(1) -N option. An invalid section name will be ignored. If multiple -N options are specified, then strings(1) will inspect each of the sections specified. If either the -a or the '-' option are specified, any -N options are ignored. 5. Interfaces Proposed Stability Interface Name Classification -------------- ------------------ strings(1) Committed The man page gives more detail here. The entire strings utility will be a committed interface. Except for -N, the strings utility is covered by the usual standards; -N is not specified by any standards. 6. References 1.
