  This means that procref is a new type that User has defined. This procref will hold
the pointer to a function which returns an integer and accepts void as arguments. The
Following code will make it more clear for U.

#include<stdio.h>

/*defining a new type procref */
typedef int (*procref)();

/*
* This function just returns 5. 
*
*/
int Five ()
{
    return 5;
}

/*
* This function just returns 6. 
*
*/
int Six ()
{
    return 6;
}


main()
{
   /* procref is the type and func is the instance of procref. It now holds the pointer
   ** to the function Five
   */
   procref func = Five;

   /* Should print 5, the return value of Five() */
   printf("\n%d", (*func)());

   /* Now func points to function Six */
   func = Six;

   /* Should return 6, the return value of function 6 */
   printf("\n%d", (*func)());
}
