Thread: passing a file as a function parameter

I posted a separate post with this code regarding a problem i was having implementing a particular function while attempting to pass a file as a parameter so that I could output it. Take a look and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

errors: lab2.c: In function âmainâ:
lab2.c:74: error: incompatible type for argument 1 of âNewPageâ
lab2.c: At top level:
lab2.c:106: error: conflicting types for âNewPageâ
lab2.c:4: error: previous declaration of âNewPageâ was here

Code:
