Thread: returning an array of pointers to structures

This is mostely a problem ive made for myself. I have:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAXLIST 10

struct ipList {
  int id;
  char name[ 35 ];
  char ip[ 15 ];
};

void getList( struct ipList *list[ ] );
struct ipList *makeIP( void );
void printList( struct ipList *list[ ] );

int main( void ) { 
  struct ipList *theList[ MAXLIST ];
  
  getList( theList );

  printList( theList );

  return 0;
}

void getList( struct ipList *list[ ] ) {
  int i = 0;
  
  while ( i < MAXLIST ) {
    list[ i ] = makeIP( );
    list[ i ]->id = i;
    strcpy( ( list[ i ]->name ), "citibank.co.cx" );
    strcpy( ( list[ i ]->ip ), "209.249.147.15" );
    i++;
  }
}

struct ipList *makeIP( void ) {
  struct ipList *temp;
  temp = malloc( sizeof( struct ipList ) );
  return ( temp );
}


void printList( struct ipList *list[ ] ) {
  int i = 0;
  
  while ( i < MAXLIST ) {
    printf( "%s - %s\n", ( list[ i ]->name ), ( list[ i ]->ip ) );
    i++;
  }
}

Which works, however ive been trying to do this without passing parameters to getList( ), instead I've been trying to have getList( ) return the address to an array of pointers to structures. I can make the array, but seem to be unable to have it be returned.
