    struct pointer to function syntax

    here is my code:

    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
        struct money {
    	char category[30];
    	char month[5];
    	int day;
    	char purchase_description[30];
    	float purchase[30];
        };
    
        struct money money_log[MAX];
        struct money *p_money_log;  
        p_money_log = &money_log[0];
    What I want to do is have the pointer to the structure passed to different functions, however I have not been able to find a suitable example of the syntax for the function call. Do I have to use the keyword struct in the argument list? Or can I just do something like:

    Code:
     
    void some_func(*p_money_log)
    {
    .......
    }
    I actually know this is incorrect - as there is no data type in the parameter list. Suggestions on how to pass the pointer are welcome. Thanks.

    Code:
    void function( struct mystruct *myptr );
    Is that what you're trying to do?

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Code:
    void some_func(struct money *p_money_log)
    {
         ...
    }
    
    /* pointer to the pointer */
    void another_func(struct money **pp_money_log)
    {
         ...
    }
    
    int main(void)
    {
         struct money *p_money_log;
    
         some_func(p_money_log);
         another_func(&p_money_log);
         ...
