Isn't out a C# thing, not C? Anyway, I think that you can just pass the variable by reference in C++ to achieve the same result:

bool executeCommand( const char* pszCommand, int& response );

...

int main()
{
   /* Some code */

   int iRespinseVal;
   if ( executeCommand( "QUIT", iResponseVal ) )
       /* iResponseVal has the value determined by the executeCommand function */
       /* Do things with the value */
  
   return 0;
}
