I'm doing this from memory and my experience is with the Microsoft C
compiler, but I think that addresses are stored in memory in order as:
	low-word high-word

The pointer would thus have the order:
	offset   segment

Given a 32-bit function pointer funp, the offset should be
	*((unsigned int *) funp)

and the segment should be
	*((unsigned int *) funp + 1)
