Here's some code that will do what you want:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char **str_fcn();
void
main()
{
int i;
char **sa;
sa = str_fcn();
for (i=0; i<12; i++) {
fprintf(stdout, "sa[%d]: %s\n", i, sa[i]);
}
}
char **
str_fcn()
{
char **str_array;
str_array = (char **)calloc(sizeof(char *), 12);
str_array[0] = strdup("Jan");
str_array[1] = strdup("Feb");
str_array[2] = strdup("Mar");
str_array[3] = strdup("April");
str_array[4] = strdup("May");
str_array[5] = strdup("June");
str_array[6] = strdup("July");
str_array[7] = strdup("Aug");
str_array[8] = strdup("Sept");
str_array[9] = strdup("Oct");
str_array[10] = strdup("Nov");
str_array[11] = strdup("Dec");
return str_array;
}
This is the general idea -- you should be able to do what you want from
this.
