There is a piece of my program:

height = atoi(argv[3]);

width = atoi(argv[2]);

sprintf(seqName,"%s", argv[1]);

// strcpy(seqName, argv[1]);

After compiling it, a exe file test is generated, then I use Valgrind to check it. Then I got the following message, however I cannot understand what it tends to tell me. Can anyone provide some kind help, Thanks.
