[Bug binutils/10368] New: ISO 8859 mentioned as 7bit encoding in strings documentation

[doko at debian dot org]

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/452277]

is there a reason that it is mentioned here for `s'?

The strings manpage says describing the --encoding option:

"Possible  values for encoding are: s = single-7-bit-byte characters
(ASCII, ISO 8859, etc., default), S = single-8-bit-byte
characters,..."

However, ISO 8859 is NOT a 7 bit encoding, but rather an 8 bit encoding.
