What is void** in C#?

Question

I\'m looking through the source of a C# program that uses a library written in C. I came across this line and was unsure what it was:

cvbimUNSAFE.GetImageVPA         


        

Answer 1

It's a void pointer. See this article for details:

And you can take a look at this SO question for details on how to implement it in C#:

On a side note, that method should be marked as unsafe if it's not.
