      FILE *file = fopen(filename, "rb");
      FILE *fp= fopen(filename1,"wb");
      FILE *fp1=fopen(filename2,"rb");
      if ( file != NULL )
      {
          printf("%lu bytes\n", (long unsigned)hexdump(file,fp,fp1));
          fclose(file);
          fclose(fp);
          fclose(fp1);  
      }
      else
      {
          perror(filename);
      }
      return 0;
  }

When executing the code above, I got a segmentation fault. Here’s the output:

+0 +1 +2 +3 +4 +5 +6 +7 +8 +9 +A +B +C +D +E +F Text
Segmentation fault

What could be reason for this?

Answer 1

FILE *fp1=fopen(filename2,"rb");

You open fp1 for reading. Yet you write to it. Change it to

FILE *fp1=fopen(filename2,"wb");
