[racket] FFI Pointer to Pointer

I think I might have been unclear about what I was asking. If we assume I have that same code you just posted, how would I go about using it through the Racket FFI? I know I can define a _my_c_struct-pointer, but how do I make a pointer to that pointer to pass to the C function?
