This is kind of a nomenclature issue. In C, everything is said to be passed by value -- ie, you cannot pass "by reference".

However, you can pass a memory address, which is a value, using a pointer. In fact, this is how "pass by reference" is implemented in higher level languages -- they are C pointers.

So the information you are looking for involves "how to pass a pointer to a struct" not "how to pass a struct by reference".
