Re: char**

I have a question :
How to understand the mean of char** type ?

char is a type - objects of that type are 1 byte in size and can contain as
their value any single member of the execution character set.

char * is a type - objects of that type are sizeof(char *) bytes in size,
and can contain as their value the address of a single char.

char ** is a type - objects of that type are sizeof(char **) bytes in size,
and can contain as their value the address of a single char *.

What is the question behind the question?
