I'm trying to read a file to a string using mmap.
I was following this example: http://www.lemoda.net/c/mmap-example/index.html
My code looks like this
unsigned char *f;
int size;
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
struct stat s;
const char * file_name = argv[1];
int fd = open (argv[1], O_RDONLY);
/* Get the size of the file. */
int status = fstat (fd, & s);
size = s.st_size;
f = (char *) mmap (0, size, PROT_READ, 0, fd, 0);
for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
char c;
c = f[i];
putchar(c);
}
return 0;
}
But I always receive a segemation fault when accessing f[i]. What am I doing wrong?
