    Trouble properly using buffers for function

    Here is the function I am trying to run:

    Code:
    int encrypt(
    unsigned char *cipher, unsigned long long *cipherlen,
    const unsigned char *plaintext, unsigned long long plaintextlen,
    const unsigned char *data, unsigned long long datalen,
    const unsigned char *sec,
    const unsigned char *public,
    const unsigned char *key);


    Here is my attempt:
    Code:
    #define BUFFER_SIZE  16    
    
    
    const unsigned char nonce[] = {00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 0x08}; 
    const unsigned char key[] = {00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 0x08,}; 
    const unsigned char ad[] = {00, 01, 02, 03}; 
        
    unsigned char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE + 1];                                                                                               
    
    
    int main(void)                                                                  
    {                                                                               
                                                        
        int encrypt(
        unsigned char buffer, sizeof buffer, 
        NULL, NULL, 
        const unsigned char data, sizeof data, 
        NULL, 
        const unsigned char public, 
        const unsigned char key);
        
            for(int i = 0; i < sizeof buffer; ++i) {
            printf("%02x", buffer[i]);}; 
        
    }
    The error flags 'expected identifier before sizeof' and 'expected ',' or '...' before sizeof '
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, you should remove all the types from your attempt to call the encrypt() function.

    Do you see types in your printf call?
    Make it like that, only use variables and constants.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
