struct initialisation in C

[boris]

do i have to initialise a struct before i can pass it to a function?
and do i have to pass a pointer to the struct, or is it like arrays in that you pass the array name and that is sufficient?

A struct is just like a normal variable, not like a pointer (or an array which is really also a pointer). So the same rules that apply for any other primitive (like int, char, etc.) hold true.
