 An array of pointers to codice_6 contains pointers to the first character of each of these strings, and this array of pointers is passed to the codice_7 function as the codice_8 argument.The passed array itself "decays" to a pointer, thus codice_8 is actually a pointer to a pointer to codice_6, even though it stands for an array of pointers to codice_6 (similarly, the pointers in the array, while each formally pointing to a single codice_6, actually point to what are strings of characters).The accompanying codice_7 argument, codice_14, provides the size of the array (i.e.
