can anyone help me to transform this function to a void function, using the pointer address??

Code:
int main(){		

	...
	MYSQL	*p_connection;
	...
	p_connection = Initiate_mysql(p_connection);	
        ...
   
}

MYSQL* Initiate_mysql(MYSQL* p_connection){
	const char*	host = "xxxx";
	const char*	user = "xxxx";
	const char*	password = "xxxx";
	const char*	database = "xxxx";	

	p_connection = mysql_init(NULL);	

	if (!mysql_real_connect(p_connection,host,user,password,database,0,NULL,0)) {

		fprintf(stderr, "Failed to connect to p_database: Error: %s\n", mysql_error(p_connection));

	}
	return p_connection;

}


thx
