            Bug ID: 42942
           Summary: [llvm-strings]Short option wth argument grouping not
                    GNU compatible
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows NT
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org

llvm-strings has two short options that take an argument: -t (same as --radix)
and -n (same as --bytes). GNU strings allows arguments to be specified as "-tx"
and "-n2" but llvm-strings does not.

Some simple examples that GNU strings supports but llvm-strings does not:

strings -fatx input.o
strings -fat x input.o
strings -fa -tx input.o
strings -fan2 input.o
strings -fan 2 input.o
strings -fa -n2 input.o

Every other combination I could think of worked with llvm-strings.
