Can `strings` be used on other files?

Yes, the strings command can be used on various types of binary files, not just executables. You can use it on:

• Object files (e.g., .o files)
• Shared libraries (e.g., .so files)
• Executable files (e.g., compiled programs)
• Core dumps
• Any binary file that may contain readable text

For example, you can run:

strings myfile.bin

This will extract and display printable strings from myfile.bin. If you have a specific file type in mind, let me know!
