seg-fault - try to write to address zero and crash

seg-fault

seg-fault tries write to address zero and will trigger a segmentation fault (signal 11). It is useful to test the process core dump configuration. See the Linux kernel sysctl setting kernel.core_pattern and fs.suid_dumpable for more information. In case of using a bug reporting system like apport, this program allows testing reporting the crash and retracing it.

This program takes no options.
