     )

    Re: Return string from a function in C

    In the C API, certain functions return a string as a parameter. Each of these functions uses the same interface for retrieving a string. msStringProperty() is a pointer to a buffer provided by the application into which XMS copies the characters in the string.

    Re: Return string from a function in C

    To return string from a function try this program :
    ex:
    Code:
    #include 
    
    char * cfun(void);
    main ()
    {
    printf("%s\n",cfun());
    }
    
    char * cfun(void)
    {
    char *name;
    name = (char *)malloc(20*sizeof(char));
    printf("Enter name\n");
    scanf("%s",nme);
    return(nme);
    }
