title: Passing const char * to a function in C
body: <p>I'm trying to write a that function takes a <code>const char *</code> as a parameter, and I can't figure out how to pass this kind of data to a function in a useful way. If I have function:</p>
  
  <pre><code>void tokenize(const char * c) { }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I want to call this function with a hardcoded value, say backslash, what is the best way to approach this? How do I turn a hardcoded value into a <code>const char *</code>?</p>
