Title:
  [wishlist] Option to choose the range for the strings command

Status in “binutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 dev with binutils 2.23.91.20131123-1ubuntu1.
  The command strings has the option -t to show the position of the
  located strings. Maybe there could also be an option to seek to an
  offset and optionally to stop at another offset. For example this
  could be useful on searching a disk and telling it should begin the
  search at 20 GiB and end at 30 GiB.
