1995/schnitzi - Best One Liner

← savastio ↑ 1995 ↑ spinellis → C code Makefile Inventory





Author:

To build:

make all

To use:

./schnitzi num

Try:

./try.sh

WARNING: the author warns to not use too high a number! If you wish to ignore the warning it is an exercise to determine how high is too high. :-)

Judges’ remarks:

Sometimes a core dump is a feature, not a bug!

This is one of the better one-liners we have seen in a while. Take some time to figure out what it does before you run it!

Author’s remarks:

Beware, running this program with too high of a number amounts to doing a fork bomb on your machine!
