Since we're quoting manuals at each other :-)

Pulling a random (I'm being honest here) example out of emacs:
struct backtrace
{
struct backtrace *next;
Lisp_Object *function;
Lisp_Object *args; /* Points to vector of args. */
int nargs; /* length of vector. If nargs is UNEVALLED,
args points to slot holding list of
unevalled args */
char evalargs;
};
