Initialize char **

[rasika]

I have a structure
typedef struct m
{
char *name,
char **alais;
}mystruct;

The way I have initialised name field of the struct i want to intialise
the alais field to { "geeta", NULL } char array .
So how do i Do it?

mystruct a={
name:"myname",
};

i.e.

char *t="yourname";

t actually points to a null terminated string, so you already have a null
there.
mystruct a={
name:"myname",
};
