passing argument 1 of ‘strncmp’ makes pointer from integer without a cast C programing

Question

I want to compare some data that the client sends to a server. Bout i have this error when I use strncmp t compare what I read from the socket and the strings I'm using to compare. Can someone tell me why is this error?

Server:

    char        buf[MAXLINE];

    {

     printf("Message Recieved:%s\n",buf);
     srand (time(NULL));
     temp = rand() % 40+1;

            result(connfd);
                Close(connfd);

    }
}

Thank you very much.

strncmp expects a const char* as first argument whereas you pass just a char.

Change it to:

 if ((strncmp (buf,"Bxx",1) == 0) || (strncmp (buf,"bxx",1) == 0))
