This is not a C question: comp.lang.misc or comp.programming would
be better places.

The term pass by reference is that often used [incorrectly] in 'C'
texts in place of the correct term pass by address. Specifically, C
does not have a pass by reference mechanism, but can 'fake' it quite
well by passing addresses by value.

The C++ language has 'proper' pass by reference - as well as by value
and address.
