I exercised the API and int * is correct.

Both "int" and "int *" behave the same for a linkage(OS) call.

It says that all arguments except pointers and aggregates are copied to a temporary and the address of the temporary is passed.

So if the prototype has just "int", it will pass a pointer to the integer parameter. If the parameter is "int *", it's already a pointer, so it will just pass the parameter directly.
