Why do you want to do that?
You could call most of your C routines from Ocaml.
And most importantly, the main interest of ocaml is the way of thinking
it. When mastered, it is a language much more expressive & much more
fun. And no mechanical translation would give you that....
If it is a homework, better to start thinking & coding in Ocaml, than to
translate blindly C into Ocaml.
And a blind translation won't learn anything about Ocaml or functional
programming.
