Print all suffix of String in C

[thatos]

I have a string S and I want to print all its suffix, I tried the following but I seem to be missing a number of letters;

char *S;
scanf("%s", &S);
int l,i;
l = strlen(S);
for(i = 0;i < l;i++){
  printf("%s",&S[i]);
}
 

When I input a word of length greater the 8, I lose all the letters after the 8th char.
for example

mississippi //this is the input
mississippi
ississi
ssissi
sissi
issi
ssi
si
i

I don`t think you need the for loop (l5) or the[i] (l6)
The loop is for-shortening the word.

char *S;
scanf("%s", &S);
 

This is undefined behaviour, you do not allocate any memory to S and then rather than passing where S points to you pass a pointer to where S is to scanf.

Reading a string should look like this using scanf

char S[100];
scanf("%s", S);
 

But that is insecure as it allows buffer overflow so you should rather do this

char S[100];
fgets(S, sizeof S, stdin);

Thanks but what if I don't know the maximum length of the string?

What if you don't know the maximum length of the string being input?

You guess or you specify the maximum your program excepts you do something more intelligent reading a few characters at a time and transfering them to a dynamically allocated buffer (malloc'd) that you can resize if required.
