C uses "->" for dereferencing a pointer to the member of a struct.

If "p" points to a struct (record), then "*p" is that struct, and if
that struct has a member (field) "m", then that member can be accessed
by "(*p)->m" (the parens are necessary because of the operator
precedence).

ITYM (*p).m

Correct.

This can be abbreviated to "p->m".

Pascal, on the other hand, dereferences with a postfixed "^", so that
would be "p^.m".
