If readg() is reporting an illegal character, then I think your input
must have been otherwise modified since you produced it with geng,
because readg() will only report an illegal character when it reads a
line containing a character besides ':' (the prefix for sparse6
format) and outside of the ASCII range '?' through '~' (decimal 63
through 126).

Is it possible that your input contains lines with "header"
information (or comments and written text) of some sort? That could
explain it.

The gtools function ntog6() will convert a graph datatype to a C
string containing that graph's graph6 representation. The gtools
function writeg6() uses ntog6() to output a graph's graph6
representation to a given stream. There are similar and
similarly-named functions for sparse graphs.

If the above comments don't help, then I think it would be
considerably easier to help you debug your program's segfault if you
gave the input (and the minimum compilable source) necessary to
reproduce it. Otherwise, the process can be unnecessarily inefficient.
