Hello i'm getting a segmentation fault in my is_validport() function and could somebody people point out what i'm doing wrong please?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int main() {
    char *string = "80,  443, 8080";

    /*
        char *string2 = "65536";
        if(atoi(string2) <= 65535){
            if(0 <= atoi(string2)){
            printf("%s %s\n", string2, "Is Valid");
            }
        }else{
            printf("%s %s\n", string2, "Is NOT Valid");
        }
     */


    if (is_validport(string)) {
        printf("Valid PORTS.\n");
        return EXIT_SUCCESS;
    } else {
        printf("Invalid PORTS.\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    /* The entire program is checking if our input is a sentences. */
    if (is_destportseq(string)) {

    } else {
        printf("Invalid sentence.\n");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
}

char *is_destportseq(char *s) {
    char *r1, *r2; /* Report variables. */

       call. */
    r1 = is_destport(s);
    if (r1) {
        if (*r1 == 0) {
            return r1;

                return r2;
            } else {
                return NULL;
            }
        }
    }

    return NULL;
}

        return NULL;
    }

    while (isdigit((int) * s)) {
        s++;
    }
    return s;
}
//segmentation fault
char *is_validport(char *s) {
    char *firstport;
    char *temps;
    char *temps2;

    *temps = *s;
    //printf("s %s \n", s);
    //printf("temps %s \n", temps);
    firstport = strtok(s, ",");

    if (*s == 0) {
        return s;
    } else {
        if (atoi(firstport) <= 65535) {
            if (0 <= atoi(firstport)) {
                //printf("s = %s \n", s);
                temps2 = strstr(s, " ");
                temps2 = trimwhitespacestartandend(temps2);
                is_validport(temps2);
            }
        } else {
            return NULL;
        }
    }
    return NULL;
}

char *trimwhitespacestartandend(char *str) {
    char *end;
    // Trim leading space
    while (isspace((int) * str)) str++;
    // Trim trailing space
    end = str + strlen(str) - 1;
    while (end > str && isspace((int) * end)) end--;
    // Write new null terminator
    *(end + 1) = 0;
    return str;
}

its trying to break up a string "80, 443, 8080" into "80" "443" "8080" and make sure each number >=0 & <= 65535.

Thanks in advance.

[edit]You can't write here:

char *is_validport(char *s) {
    char *firstport;
    char *temps;
    char *temps2;

    *temps = *s;

because temps doesn't point anywhere.

[edit=2]D'oh!

But you can't use strtok on a string literal:

char *string = "80,  443, 8080";

[edit=3]Do you really need all that code? Are you doing something like this?

#include <stdio.h>

void foo(const char *string)
{
   int a, b, c;
   if ( sscanf(string, "%d, %d, %d", &a, &b, &c) == 3 )
   {
      if ( a >= 0 && a <= 65535 &&
           b >= 0 && b <= 65535 &&
           c >= 0 && c <= 65535 )
      {
         printf("a = %d, b = %d, c = %d\n", a, b, c);
      }
   }
}

int main() 
{
   foo("80,  443, 8080");
   return 0;
}

/* my output
a = 80, b = 443, c = 8080
*/

I'm sorry but I don't really understand that inorder to fix it.

Before i added

firstport = strtok(s, ",");

i had it in my main function as and i could print out the result as "80" from the original string but i don't know what i can't use it in that function.

also i've changed it so that atoi shouldn't process a null value:

char *is_validport(char *s) {
    char *firstport;
    char *temps;
    char *temps2;

    temps = s;
    //printf("s %s \n", s);
    //printf("temps %s \n", temps);
    if (*s == 0) {
        return s;
    } else {
        firstport = strtok(s, ",");
        if (*firstport == 0) {
            return s;
        } else {
            if (atoi(firstport) <= 65535) {
                if (0 <= atoi(firstport)) {
                    //printf("s = %s \n", s);
                    temps2 = strstr(s, " ");
                    temps2 = trimwhitespacestartandend(temps2);
                    is_validport(temps2);
                }
            } else {
                return NULL;
            }
        }
    }
    return NULL;
}

I would do it like [edit=3] however i don't know how many different numbers i will get so i was doing it recursively. As the string is valid as long as it matchs this BNF grammar

It will make sure the string is valid for the grammar. the problem is making sure each port >=0 & <= 65535 for a n number of ports

Segmentation fault sorry :(
