    Question Please suggest function definition

    I have a structure


    Code:
     struct Info { 
        char *name; 
        char **value; 
    }
    and a function


    Code:
     void addValue(struct Info *info,char *value ,int posVal) 
    { 
            int size=strlen(value)+1; 
            info->value[posVal]= (char *)malloc(size); 
                       strcpy(info->value[posVal],value); 
                    info->value[posVal+1]=NULL; 
    }
    Main


    Code:
     struct Info info[10] 
    ....... 
    ....... 
    
    initValArrSize(&info[0],1); 
    /* 
    Make size+1 single dimension arrays of size char * 
    void initValArrSize(struct XMLInfo *info, int size ) 
    { 
        info->value=(char **)malloc((size+1)*sizeof(char *)); 
    } 
    */
    now calling addvalue


    Code:
     addValue(&info[0],"Inspiron", 0);
    I want to change it to info[0].value[0] so that it reduces the number of arguments in addValue method and also pass it by reference so that changes are reflected in main
    ex .
    Code:
     addValue(info[0].value[0],"Inspiron");
    Please suggest the addValue definition to accommodate this change

    Perhaps something like:
    Code:
    addValue(&info[0].value[0], "inspiron");        /* call the function */
    
    addValue(char **infoval, const char *p) { ... } /* function definition */
