Passing a pointer to an array of structs to a function

I'm having trouble interpreting this sentence into code: A function called max_occurences() that has a pointer to an array of struct occurrences as an argument.

My understanding is that they mean something like this:

int max_occurences(struct occurrence *occurrences[])

But this appears to be wrong. Can someone help me understand what it's suppose to look like? I'm really confused.

int max_occurences(struct occurrence *occurrences[])

The argument here is array of pointers to struct occurrence.

A pointer to an array of struct occurrence would be declared as -

struct occurrence (*occurrences)[3];

So your argument should be -

int max_occurences(struct occurrence (*occurrences)[])
