In C Programming:

I can't get my user input function to work in my main. Please help :)

#include

#define MAXINPUT 2048

#define MAXARGS 512

static bool reading_input = false;

void userInput(char *user_input[], int *bgStatus, char inputFile[], char outputFile[], int pid);

// main-------------------------

int main(){

int pid = getpid();

int cont = 1;

int exitStatus = 0;

int bgStatus = 0;

char *prompt = (getenv("PS1") != NULL) ? getenv("PS1") : "";

char *input = NULL;

size_t input_size = 0;

char *args[MAXARGS];

char input_copy[MAXINPUT];

int num_args = 0;

pid_t child_pid;

int child_status;

while(1) {

while ((child_pid = waitpid(-1, &child_status, WNOHANG)) > 0) {

if (WIFEXITED(child_status)) {

fprintf(stderr, "Child process %jd done. Exit status %d. ", (intmax_t) child_pid, WEXITSTATUS(child_status));

} else if (WIFSIGNALED(child_status)) {

fprintf(stderr, "Child process %jd done. Signaled %d. ", (intmax_t) child_pid, WTERMSIG(child_status));

} else if (WIFSTOPPED(child_status)) {

kill(child_pid, SIGCONT);

fprintf(stderr, "Child process %jd stopped. Continuing. ", (intmax_t) child_pid);

}

}

userInput(user_input, &bgStatus, inputFile, outputFile, pid);

if(strcmp(user_input[0], "exit") == 0) {

//exit;

}

return 0;

}

// userInput---------------------------------------------------------

void userInput(char *user_input[], int *bgStatus, char inputFile[], char outputFile[], int pid){

size_t input_size = 0;

char *prompt = (getenv("PS1") != NULL) ? getenv("PS1") : "";

char input[MAXINPUT];

printf("%s", prompt);

fflush(stdout);

ssize_t num_chars = getline(&input, &input_size, stdin);

reading_input = true;

if (num_chars == -1 && errno == EINTR) {

clearerr(stdin);

fprintf(stderr, " ");

}

// Check if input is blank and do nothing but return

if(!strcmp(input, "")){
