Information about a function declaration

I came across a function declaration of the form

LOCAL(int *)
function_name (int a, char *b)
{
code...
}
I wanted to know what the LOCAL keyword indicates in this declaration?

thanks,

LOCAL isn't defined by C, likely it's a macro , so try to figure out
what it is defined as.

Nothing whatsoever, as far as C is concerned. In fact, in straight C
this is a syntax error. Since it's capitalised, it's probably #defined
as a macro somewhere else in your code, with a definition that both
makes this syntactical and explains its meaning.
