function pass by both pointer and reference

I just came across a function definition as follows.
I learned function pass by value, reference and pointer but this is new to me.
Could you explain a bit?
 
 BOOL function_name( int* &x, int* &y )
Those are references to pointers. So presumably the function sets them and returns a boolean status to indicate whether it succeeded.
Well, they help! Thanks!!!
