How do you print the value of a pointer to a pointer?

How do you print the contents of a memory location given a pointer to a pointer to the location?
ie:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

	RPC_STATUS status;

	RPC_WSTR stringBinding;			// I guess

	RPC_WSTR ObjectUuid;
	RPC_WSTR ProtSeq;
	RPC_WSTR NetworkAddr;
	RPC_WSTR EndPoint;
	RPC_WSTR NetworkOptions;

	status = RpcStringBindingCompose(	// The RpcStringBindingCompose function creates a string binding handle.
		NULL,
		(RPC_WSTR)"ncacn_ip_tcp",
		(RPC_WSTR)"192.168.1.2",
		(RPC_WSTR)"2000",
		NULL,
		&stringBinding
		);
	if(status==RPC_S_OK) RhinoApp().Print("RpcStringBindingCompose = SUCCESS!!!\n");

RhinoApp().Print("stringBinding = ");
RhinoApp().Print((char*)stringBinding);
RhinoApp().Print("\n");
RhinoApp().Print("\n");

	status = RpcStringBindingParse(
		stringBinding,
		(RPC_WSTR*)ObjectUuid,
		(RPC_WSTR*)ProtSeq,
		(RPC_WSTR*)NetworkAddr,
		(RPC_WSTR*)EndPoint,
		(RPC_WSTR*)NetworkOptions
	);
	if(status==RPC_S_OK)				RhinoApp().Print("RpcStringBindingParse = SUCCESS!!!\n");
	if(status==RPC_S_INVALID_STRING_BINDING)	RhinoApp().Print("RpcStringBindingParse = The string binding is not valid.\n");

RhinoApp().Print("ProtSeq = ");
RhinoApp().Print((char*)ProtSeq);
RhinoApp().Print("\n");
RhinoApp().Print("\n");


The result is:

RpcStringBindingCompose = SUCCESS!!!
stringBinding = ncacn_ip_tcp:

RpcStringBindingParse = SUCCESS!!!
ProtSeq = @ά

Where as I needed:

RpcStringBindingCompose = SUCCESS!!!
stringBinding = ncacn_ip_tcp:

RpcStringBindingParse = SUCCESS!!!
ProtSeq = ncacn_ip_tcp:

cout << (*(*pointerToAPointer));

For example,

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
  int x = 7;
  int* pointerToX = &x;
  int** pointerToPointerToX = &pointerToX;

  std::cout << *(*pointerToPointerToX);
  return 0;
}

I think it works also without parentheses:
cout << **pointerToAPointer;

Thanks!

The fix was:

	status = RpcStringBindingParse(				
		stringBinding,
