pointers as function variables

ok, i tried searching for htis with no luck, im wondering cause u use pointers to access data for functions faster, so how do i feed a pointer to a function like so:

int function(pointer, pointer, pointer)
{
}
???
like this:
int function_name(int* pname, or int *pname, or how?

Both of the styles work.

I think C++ programmers tend to use int* pname, whilst the C guys typically use int *pname, but whatever.

Aren't they in the reversed order...
