Thread: What is a ' unsigned char *s '

What is a ' unsigned char *s '

I want to use this function:
void textout(BITMAP *bmp, FONT *f, unsigned char *s, int x, y, int color);

I am trying to put a Var into the unsigned char *s but I can't use a string. If I use a char I could only use one char.. right?

What kind of var do I use to place a string of text in a unsigned char *s ??

Am I asking the right question?? I don't know.... lol
