Re: what is this declaration?

Hi,

I was reading a post about how to learn C programming and someone
mentioned this, *(int f()) in a struct. It is not in any C code, I
guess the guy was showing that there are some tricky part in C.

It does look tricky to me, what does it mean?

Is the following correct?

f is a function; the function returns an integer; this integer is de-
referenced just like a function pointer.

Can someone show me an example usage of such declaration?

It needs more context.
What you've shown is neither a declaration nor an expression
nor any other C construct that I'm familiar with.
