My VCF files are of zero length?

Question

[mahnoornaseer97]

i have sorted bam files , i used these command to generate VCF file but my file only has headers, it does not show any alignment?

this is the code that i used

> samtools mpileup -u -f /home/mahnoor/--------------/reference.fa      /home/mahnoor/Documents/IGV_DATA/Wheat_DATA/REFERENCE.sorted > /home/mahnoo---------------/SRR030257.bcf
------- to generate bcf file

> bcftools view -v -c -g /home/mah-------Documents/IGV_DATA/Wheat_DATA/SRR030257.bcf > /home/mahn -------/Documents/IGV_DATA/Wheat_DATA/test_wheat/test_data/SRR030252.vcf
--------to generate vcf file



    #CHROM  POS ID  REF ALT QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT   ------ there is nothing after this?

///////// there is no error its just that when i generate the vcf file it does not have any information after the lines above?
