How does your C function determine the size of arrays?

It looks like you marshal from Mono to C code (the array pointers are 
readonly). In this case extra arguments are not necessary, the CLR will 
determine the size of array at run-time using Array.Length property.

So, the C# prototype most probably would be:
extern static int scumbag(ref int X, byte[] fb, byte[] rb, ...);

And to use it you can:
{
   byte[] rb = new byte[1024]; //here is where you set the size.
   byte[] fb = new byte[512];
   int x = 0;
   scumbag(ref x, fb, rb,...);
}
