Pointers help

[Joshhua5]

Greetings o/

I've been trying to create something to create a function that will import a Bitmap for use with OpenGL. Once I've imported the file I use the offset(Data offset known due to WIKI) to get the data. I'm using pointers to do this but I've read the Pointer tutorial and it just doesn't seem to be working. Can someone just write a tiny piece of working code which uses * and & of pointers?

Thanks o7

What exactly do you want to do with pointer?

I think OpenGL uses C, correct, not C++? Well anyway in C pointers are used to pass by reference an argument to a function. This means you can change the argument since you don't get just a copy of it.
