Or, to further an explanation, what a string really is, is a pointer to memory, telling where the string is stored. You can't store it in a single character. When printf() expects a pointer and you hand it a character, it goes to whatever garbled value got stored in your char and tries to read it, and since it's almost certainly invalid, crashes.

tk_getscrollinfo
Tk_GetScrollInfo(3TK) Tk Library Procedures Tk_GetScrollInfo(3TK)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_GetScrollInfo, Tk_GetScrollInfoObj - parse arguments for scrolling commands
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
int
Tk_GetScrollInfo(interp, argc, argv, dblPtr, intPtr)
int
Tk_GetScrollInfoObj(interp, objc, objv, dblPtr, intPtr)
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter to use for error reporting.
int argc (in) Number of strings in argv array.
CONST char *argv[] (in) Argument strings. These represent the entire widget command, of which the first word is typically the
widget name and the second word is typically xview or yview.
int objc (in) Number of Tcl_Obj's in objv array.
Tcl_Obj *CONST objv[](in)
Argument objects. These represent the entire widget command, of which the first word is typically the
widget name and the second word is typically xview or yview.
double *dblPtr (out) Filled in with fraction from moveto option, if any.
int *intPtr (out) Filled in with line or page count from scroll option, if any. The value may be negative.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_GetScrollInfo parses the arguments expected by widget scrolling commands such as xview and yview. It receives the entire list of words
that make up a widget command and parses the words starting with argv[2]. The words starting with argv[2] must have one of the following
forms:
moveto fraction
scroll number units
scroll number pages
Any of the moveto, scroll, units, and pages keywords may be abbreviated. If argv has the moveto form, TK_SCROLL_MOVETO is returned as
result and *dblPtr is filled in with the fraction argument to the command, which must be a proper real value. If argv has the scroll form,
TK_SCROLL_UNITS or TK_SCROLL_PAGES is returned and *intPtr is filled in with the number value, which must be a proper integer. If an error
occurs in parsing the arguments, TK_SCROLL_ERROR is returned and an error message is left in interp->result.
Tk_GetScrollInfoObj is identical in function to Tk_GetScrollInfo. However, Tk_GetScrollInfoObj accepts Tcl_Obj style arguments, making it
more appropriate for use with new development.
