Passing a C String as an argument

Hi There,

Is there anyway to pass a C string from a Obj-C class to a C function 
as an argument? I know that I can use pointers to the string but it 
gets a bit messy as I am using pointers in the C function to 
manipulate the string. I also could put it in C++ and it would work 
but I'm trying to avoid that. I want a function that is portable and 
so it can't be written in Obj-C.

I'm sorry if this is really basic but I don't normally use C very much.

Many thanks,

Phil.
