Thread: simple C question

I don't code in C very much, so I have a simple question for you all gurus out there. Whats wrong with the following code? I can do it in C++ by passing a class instead of struct...

Code:

typedef struct{
    FILE *controller_param;
}Files;

void open_files( Files& my_files){
}

int main(){
    Files my_files;
    open_files( my_files);
	return 0;
}

Thanks!

Oh yea, the error it gives me is:

error: syntax error before '&' token

"There are no references in C" Ahh, I see. I used a pointer and it worked fine. Thanks!
