-- Create a C integer Value, that contains the number 10
local int = c.int(10)

-- Creates a Pointer to this Value
local int_ptr = c.Pointer(int)

-- Gets the content of the pointed memory to a new integer Value
local derefer = int_ptr.content

-- Changes the pointed memory content to 20 instead of 10
int_ptr.content = 20 

-- int Value now contains 20 (defer Value is still 10)
print("int =", int)
print("derefer =", derefer)
