one more C question ( mixedlib.e )

i think this may be the last C question i have before i will release my socket
wrappers for linux ( soon! almost done ). hopefully this is the case.

Ok bernie ( or anyone else for that matter ), lets say i have this pointer to a
struct created by mixedlib.e:

<Eu code>
  pointer my_struct
  my_struct = struc ( "yada yada specs here in correct form", HIGH )
  -- pretending i put some vals in my_struct
<end Eu code>

If i wanted to pass a C struct to a function, would i pass the *pointer* to
this struct created by mixedlib.e even though the function wants the "value" not
the "reference"? like this:

<C code>
  void happy_func( struct defined_struct some_struct );
<end C code>

would i just

<Eu code> # with earlier declarations #
  c_proc( happy_func_, { my_struct } ) -- happy_func_ is a "define_c_proc"
                                       -- assumed to have been declared earlier
<end Eu code>

There must be something im missing here. Perhaps its my knowledge of C that
lacks or my half-assed knowledge of mixedlib.e?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out here.
