Scott -

 char **p = &dummy;

Says: p is a pointer to a pointer that points to a char type. The &dummy says
assign the address of dummy (i.e. a pointer) to that slot. Typically double
indirects are used with arrays of pointer, like **argv for instance.

The 'char **match(p,name) says that match is a function that returns a pointer
to a pointer to a type of char.
