In this case str points to location that has the initialized value which could be either ready only or read writable.If it happens to be on read only then the strtok function may not be able to modify the string and so generates the SEGV
You could change that to,
Code:
char str[]="Tanvir/home/root/hello";
Thanks

Dear Nagarajan,
Thanks for ur detailed explaination of strtok.
I fully agree with ur comment.
but however strtok should not be used in threads. can u explain me why?
they say in such case its safe to use strtok_r().
Hi all,
Right now I'm using this but it seems to be a hack:
if (prefix(arg, "mark=")) {
for (markid = strtok(args,"="); markid; markid=strtok((char *)NULL, "=")) {
basically the user passes "mark=ny" to the command. I want to be able to extract "ny" from that... (7 Replies)
Hi,
I just wrote a program in C to split a comma seperated string in to group of strings using strtok() function. The code is:
int main()
{
char *temp;//not used here but basically we extract one string after another using strtok() and assign to a string pointer defined like this.

STRTOK(3) Linux Programmer's Manual STRTOK(3)NAME
strtok, strtok_r - extract tokens from strings
SYNOPSIS
#include <string.h>
char *strtok(char *s, const char *delim);
char *strtok_r(char *s, const char *delim, char **ptrptr);
DESCRIPTION
A `token' is a nonempty string of characters not occurring in the string delim, followed by or by a character occurring in delim.
The strtok() function can be used to parse the string s into tokens. The first call to strtok() should have s as its first argument. Subse-
quent calls should have the first argument set to NULL. Each call returns a pointer to the next token, or NULL when no more tokens are
found.
If a token ends with a delimiter, this delimiting character is overwritten with a and a pointer to the next character is saved for the
next call to strtok(). The delimiter string delim may be different for each call.
The strtok_r() function is a reentrant version of the strtok() function, which instead of using its own static buffer, requires a pointer
to a user allocated char*. This pointer, the ptrptr parameter, must be the same while parsing the same string.
BUGS
Never use these functions. If you do, note that:
These functions modify their first argument.
These functions cannot be used on constant strings.
The identity of the delimiting character is lost.
The strtok() function uses a static buffer while parsing, so it's not thread safe. Use strtok_r() if this matters to you.
RETURN VALUE
The strtok() function returns a pointer to the next token, or NULL if there are no more tokens.
