Fragmentation functions for heavy-light mesons, like the charmed D, D{sup {asterisk}} mesons, are proposed. They rest on next-to-leading QCD perturbative fragmentation functions for heavy quarks, with the addition of a nonperturbative term describing phenomenologically the quark {r_arrow} meson transition. The cross section for production of large p{sub T} D, D{sup {asterisk}} mesons at the Fermilab Tevatron is evaluated in this framework. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
