Function syntax to return a pointer...

Hey all. I'm about halfway through a book called "Teach Yourself C in 21 Days." Great book, but I can't find out how to return a pointer from a function. Can anyone give me the syntax, or an example of the declaration?

Would be most appreciated.

Returning something is nothing special. But maybe you're looking for something else?

Code:

---

char* foo()
{
    return malloc(5);
}

int main()
{
    char* p = foo();
    free(p);
}
