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.Smilie

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().
