Hello, If a user doesn't have permission, both gpiodetect and gpioinfo will segfault when run. $ ./gpiodetect gpiochip0 Permission denied zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) ./gpiodetect The problem is there: if (!chip) { if (errno == EACCES) printf("%s Permission denied\n", entries[i]->d_name); else die_perror("unable to open %s", entries[i]->d_name); } chip is NULL, but is later dereferenced. I'm not submitting a fix as there are 2 possibilities that I can see, and I don't know which one would be best: - add a continue after the die_perror line - replace the printf above with die_perror() Regards, Frank.
