Array of char* to pointer

Question

How would I make a pointer to:

char * values [x];

I'm trying to pass an array of char * to a pointer from outside the block of code, where x can by anything.

Pointer to a pointer can do what you want.

char ** val ;

In the function definition :

return_type func(char ** val) {...}

In the function call :

func(&values)

You need to pass the address of the pointer to the function.
