Almost.
"const char* cs" == "char const* cs"
pointer to constant chars
"char* const cs"
constant pointer to chars
"char const *const cs"
constant pointer to constant chars

summarized in an earlier post: "const" modifies the thing to the left. If
there's nothing to the left, then it applies to the right.
