OpenCv c++ Create a C wrapper for basic print mat function?

I can create and print a matrix like this:

  Mat M(2,2, CV_8UC3, Scalar(0,0,255));
 cout << "M = " << endl << " " << M << endl << endl;

My C wrapper for the C++ functions is this:

Mat* cv_printmat(Mat* mat) {

   return  cout << "Matrix = " << endl << " " << *mat << endl << endl;
    }

Not sure where to go from here...I need to declare "Mat* mat" as is ...an opaque pointer for my purpose...but getting this error

compiling with this:

 g++ -Wall -shared -fPIC -o libcl-opencv-glue.so cl-opencv-glue.cpp

any help is much appreciated=).

Edit...new error

Your return data type is cv::Mat*, whereas the return data type for std::cout is void*. Not sure what your goal is, but this should compile if you are just trying to print.

void cv_printmat(Mat* mat) {
  cout << "Matrix = " << endl << " " << *mat << endl << endl;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
   cv::Mat M(2,2, CV_8UC3, cv::Scalar(0,0,255));
   cv_printmat(&M);
}
