Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |nickc at redhat dot com --- Comment #2 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Hi Georg, Thanks for raising this issue. I have checked in a patch which changes the --help output to read: -n <number> Locate & print any sequence of at least <number> --bytes=<number> displayable characters. (The default is 4). And I have updated the description in binutils.texi so that it goes into a bit more detail: Print sequences of displayable characters that are at least <min-len> characters long. If not specified a default minimum length of 4 is used. The distinction between displayable and non-displayable characters depends upon the setting of the -e and -U options. Sequences are always terminated at control characters such as new-line and carriage-return, but not the tab character.
