<p>Can someone explain this type to me?</p>

<pre><code>char const * const blah;
</code></pre>

<p>I would have expected it to be written something like: <code>const char *</code>. what does the const post the type mean? e.g. <code>int const foo</code>.</p>

<p>and then, what does the first statement mean?</p>
