A question about atoi() i C...

I'm trying to understand why I get this error when I compile
functions.c:521: warning: passing argument 2 of 'AddRecord' makes pointer from integer without a cast
arg2 is a char pointer already why is it complaining?

Code:

char *arg1;

        char *arg2;

        char *arg3;

        char *arg4;



        arg1 = strtok(args, " ");

        arg2 = strtok(NULL, " ");

        arg3 = strtok(NULL, " ");

        arg4 = strtok(NULL, " ");

Code:

if (strncmp(arg1, "add", 1) == 0) {

                if (arg4 == NULL)

                        AddRecord(conn, NULL, arg2, arg3);

                else

                        AddRecord(conn, atoi(arg2), arg3, arg4);  // line 521

                DatabaseWrite(conn, filename);

}

It's complaining because atoi converts char-pointer into an integer represention of what it finds at the poited-to location.

Drop the atoi

AddRecord(conn, arg2, arg3, arg4); // line 521

Ah ok yes I see now. Thanks.
