main() {

man=malloc(sizeof man);

You probably meant: man = malloc(sizeof *man); but what you have is
legal. Remember, though, that writing good C code isn't *only* about
writing legal C code.

free(man);}
Warning p.c: 4 no type specified. Defaulting to int

Use int main(void) to avoid this diagnostic message in future.

Error p.c: 7 found 'pointer to char' expected a function

I don't believe you. That is, I don't believe that what you've posted
is the same code that produced this diagnostic message.
