PSET 4 Recover image

Question

This is my code for pset4 recover. Only one file is being opened, with no picture, and then I get a segmentation fault error. Any ideas why?

 /**

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
typedef int bool;
#define true 1
#define false 0
char* card = "card.raw";
unsigned char buffer[512];
int byte = sizeof(char);
char title[4];
bool FIF = false; // FIF = First Image Found

FILE* outptr = NULL;
// opens card.raw for reading with pointer named file
FILE* inptr = fopen(card, "r");
if (inptr == NULL)
{
    printf("Could not open.\n");
    fclose(inptr);
    return 1;
}

int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;


// repeat as long as it reads 512 bytes successfully
while(feof(inptr) == 0)
{

    fread(&buffer, byte, 512, inptr);

            // if start of JPG is found
            if (buffer[0] == 0xff && buffer[1] == 0xd8 && buffer[2] == 0xff
            && (buffer[3] == 0xe0 || buffer[3] == 0xe1))
            {


                // printf("%d\n", FIF);
                if (FIF == true)
                {

                }

                {
                    a++;

                    if (a > 9)

                FIF = true;

                outptr = fopen(title, "a");

                if (outptr == NULL)
                {
                    printf("Could not open %s.\n", title);
                    return 2;
                }


            }

            if (FIF == true)
            {
                //printf("about to write to the file\n");
                fwrite(&buffer, byte, 512, outptr);
            }



}
fclose(outptr);

}

Thank you!

Answer 1

When creating the filename, how many characters are in the complete file name? How many characters are allocated to title? And does this account for the end of string marker?
