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.
