C programming print a certain amount of bytes to screen
I would like to read partSize amount of bytes from one file, which can be of any type, and print that same exact amount that was read to a new file which already exists. The program I wrote seems to write less than it is suppose to and gives a segmentation fault.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#define PERMS 0777
#include <errno.h>
int main()
{
int createDescriptor;
int openDescriptorOriginal;
int closeCreateDescriptor;
char fileNameOriginal[15]="picture.jpg";
//char fileNameOriginal[15]="myFile.txt";
//char fileNameNew[15]="NEWFILE.txt";
char fileName[15]="NEWFILE.jpg";
int parts;
int partSize;
parts=2;
int bytesRemaining;
int partNumber;
char BUFFER[512];
int readDescriptor;
int openDescriptor;
if ((openDescriptorOriginal = open(fileNameOriginal, O_RDONLY )) == -1)
{
printf("Error opening %s", fileNameOriginal);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
struct stat buf;
int r = fstat(openDescriptorOriginal, &buf);
if(r)
{
fprintf(stderr, "error: fstat: %s\n",(char *)strerror(errno));
exit(1);
}
int originalFileSize=buf.st_size;
printf("The file is %d Bytes large.\n",originalFileSize);
partSize=((originalFileSize+parts)-1)/parts;
printf("Each part is %.9f Kilobytes large.\n",(double)partSize/1024 );
partNumber=1;
printf("Part number: %d\n", partNumber);
if ((openDescriptor = open(fileName, O_WRONLY )) == -1)
{
printf("Error creating %s\n", fileName);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
ssize_t count, total;
total = 0;
char *bufff = BUFFER;
while (partSize) {
count = read(openDescriptorOriginal, bufff, partSize);
if (count < 0) {
// handle error
break;
}
if (count == 0)
break;
bufff += count;
total += count;
partSize -= count;
}
write (openDescriptor, BUFFER, total);
printf("\n");
return 0;
}

Answer 1

Some initial problems:
add the CREAT flag to your open() in case the file isn't there.
partSize should not be adjusted
Take out the line where you adjust partSize and it should work.

Answer 2

int bytesReceived;
.... open files ....
while ((bytesReceived = read(openDescriptorOriginal, BUFFER, sizeof(BUFFER)) > 0) {
if (bytesReceived != write(openDescriptor, BUFFER, bytesReceived) {
printError(...);
}
}
