I have a project for a course, I did almost everything but I have this error.
the project about doing our own shell some of them we have to write our code, others we will use the fork method..

the thing is when I compile the code, this what it gives me
/home/ugics/st255375/ICS431Labs/Project/Rshell.c: At top level:
/home/ugics/st255375/ICS431Labs/Project/Rshell.c:264: warning: conflicting types for ‘writeHistory’
/home/ugics/st255375/ICS431Labs/Project/Rshell.c:217: note: previous implicit declaration of ‘writeHistory’ was here
First, your WriteHistory call is expecting an array of pointers, but you’re only passing in a single char pointer variable to it.
You’re getting an odd message because you aren’t declaring the function prior to using it, so when it gets to the definition of WriteHistory, it doesn’t match the call that you’re making earlier.
