OK, my turn for a dumb C question. If I have a string variable, e.g., 
char myString[6], and then I have an API call which requires a const char 
*x, how do I pass the variable myString in the function call to make it 
be passed by value rather than by reference? I just can't seem to get 
this right. So far the only thing I can get to work is to put the 
constant "abcd" directly into the function call, but of course that's of 
no interest if "abcd" needs to be changed from case to case.
