I came across a function declaration that looks like this:

void *functionName() {
  // ...
}

What does the asterisk in front of the function name do? I tried googling for an answer, but I don't know how to formulate the question so that I actually find what I'm searching for.

function is returning `void *` a void pointer – TruthSeeker Apr 20 '22 at 10:09

What does the asterisk do in a declaration like `int* x;` (which is syntactically identical to `int *x;`)? Why do you think your function declaration is any different? – Adrian Mole Apr 20 '22 at 10:09
