Dear Maintainer,

isgraph(3):
       isgraph()
              checks for any printable character except space.
od(1):
       -S BYTES, --strings[=BYTES]
              output strings of at least BYTES graphic chars; 3 is implied when BYTES is not specified
$ printf 'a b\0' | od -S3
0000000 a b

This isn't specified by POSIX,
so let's match the docs to the operation.
Done upstream in the attached.

cheers,
