Need help with Getline

[zaidif]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting getline to work. Keeps giving me segmentation faults. I have made a short program to debug what I'm doing wrong. This code is also giving me segmentation faults.

Can some tell me what I'm doing wrong? Attached is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
main(){
char *cptr = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char));
getline(cptr,10,stdin);

}

Thanks in advance

Hello,

You are allocating room for 1 character and reading 10. Change it to malloc(10*sizeof(char))
