Structure values are not executed correctly inside a function

See more:

C

Hi all,

I am writing a c code and I made a struct as shown below and also 'typedef'ed it to have easy access.

struct files
{
    char* Name;
    int size;
    time_t time;
    int Fileblock[32];
};

typedef struct files file;

I have allocated space for commands in the following way:

#define BUFFERSIZE 64
int buffsize= BUFFERSIZE;
int i=0;
char **commands = malloc(sizeof(char)* buffsize);

Then I set values in my launch function as under

int launch(char *line)
{
    commands[i] = strtok(line," ");
    printf("%s\n", commands[0]);
    i++;
    while ((commands[i] = strtok(NULL, " ")) != NULL)
    {
        printf("%s\n", commands[i]);
        i++;
    }
    file fnow;
    
    fnow.Name = commands[1]; 
    //printf("Getting status for -%s-\n", commands[1] );
    status = stat(commands[1], &buf);
    //printf("the status given by stat on putting test.txt is %d\n", status);
    fnow.size = buf.st_size;
}

And then I pass the fnow object to the function.

goput(fnow);

now, when I print the Name of the file, it prints correctly, however, when I try to take the size of the file it gives me zero.

It automatically appends the Name of the file with some random character like a '?' or '-' if I hardcode a value like below, it works fine.

fnow.Name=commands[1]; 
//printf("Getting status for -%s-\n", commands[1] );
status = stat("foo.txt", &buf);
//printf("the status given by stat on putting test.txt is %d\n",status);
fnow.size = buf.st_size;

How do I avoid that?

What I have tried:

So far, I am pretty much lost. I need ideas on how can I avoid this kind of thing, because I have to work using a dynamic input which is given by the user.
