. However in repeated runs, the program variables are allocated the same memory location.
Even on reading in a very large string (20 chars) and sending it to sprintf, it is surprising how there is no segmentation fault.
At some point, unless 'k' is pointing to stdout, the length of the memory should cause violation, and program should get SEGV right?
Also, if at all 'k' points to stdout, on doing a flush immediately, i should see the contents of 'k' right? coz it sould overwrite previous contents of stdout.

affcat
AFCAT(1) General Commands Manual AFCAT(1)
NAME
afcat - Output contents of an image file to stdout.
SYNOPSIS
afcat [options] image [images]
DESCRIPTION
affcat outputs the contents of an image file to stdout. Image files that are not raw but are recognized by AFF will be output in raw for-
mat. Missing pages will not be padded, but the fact that they are missing will be noted on STDERR.
The options are as follows:
-s name
Output the named segment, instead of the image data. This is a way to output metadata.
-p nnn Just output page number nnn
-S nnn Just output data sector number nnn. Sector #0 is the first sector.
-q Quiet mode. Don't print to STDERR if a page is skipped because it is not present.
-n Noisy mode. Tell when pages are skipped.
-l List all the segment names, rather than outputing data.
-L List Long. Prints segment names, lengths, and args.
-d Debug mode. Print the page numbers to stderr as data goes to stdout.
-b Output BADFALG for bad blocks (default is to output NULLs).
-v Just print the version number and exit.
-r offset:count
Seek to the given byte offset and output count characters in each file; may be repeated.
HISTORY
afcat first appeared in AFFLIB v1.00.
