void inotifyFunc(char *path char *command){
    monitor.fd = inotify_init();
    if(fcntl(monitor.fd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK)){
       perror("inotify not initialized: ");
       exit(0);
    }
    // ENOENT is replaced with command
    monitor.wd = inotify_add_watch(monitor.fd, path, command);
    if(monitor.wd < 0){
        perror("Sorry");
        exit(1);
    }
    else{
        printf("Location '%s' is being monitored\n\n", path);
    }
}


What I have tried:

In this code, I am trying to write `inotifyFunc(pathname, command)`. The pathname is declared in the function and the `command variable` should be for `ENOENT`. It means whenever I try to execute and make changes in the filesystem, I should just write the pathname and a command(IN_CREATE, IN_MODIFY, etc) using inotifyFunc() in the main function. 

But it is not working and giving me the error message

warning: passing argument 3 of ‘inotify_add_watch’ makes integer from pointer without a cast

See the man page: inotify_add_watch(2) - Linux manual page[^] for the correct parameters to the inotify_add_watch command.
