What is the exact meaning of “int const* ” in C?

It means a pointer to a constant integer. In other words, the pointer is not constant, but the value it points to is.

And also a small comparison between "const int*" and "int const*"

There is no difference.

A similar construct is int * const. Here there is a difference. This time the pointer is constant but the value it points to is not.

+1 but I would phrase that a little bit differently: "pointer to a memory region with constant integers"
"A similar construct is int * const. Here the pointer is constant but the value it points to is not." what is the exact application/meaning of this usage?
