C# P/Invoke to pass pointer-to-pointer-to-structure (**pPtr) to C

I have a function in C which takes a pointer to a pointer to a structure. It
then returns a linked list.

How do I call, via P/Invoke, from C# to C.

struct LinkedList
{
char *value;
struct LinkedList *next;
}

void CreateList(stru ct LinkedList **pPtr)
{

// creates the linked list

}

How do I call CreateList from C#? I know I need to declare the structure
and then create an instance of this structure, but I can't figure out how to
pass a pointer to a pointer to the structure.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents.
