I am working on a RedRat code project for my job these days. The RedRat is a device that can be used to control 16 IR outputs, and my plan is to use this for testing of STBs with my own program.

I've been working with code before in C# and Java, but this is the first time I really delve into C++. And apart from a universe of new things to learn (especially windows specific things) I have stumbled across some function arguments that I do not understand.
In the RedRat COM API there are two particular functions:
- HRESULT FindRedRat4s([out, retval] SAFEARRAY(BSTR)* pRetVal);
- My questions is: what is the definition of [out] and [retval] specifications, and what do they mean in practice?
- HRESULT GetRedRat4(
- [in] BSTR rr4Name,
- [out, retval] ICCWRedRat4** pRetVal);
- What does the double ** mean?
Hope you can help with this :-)
