Meaning of "String..."

[kracer]

Hello everybody,

Do you know what is meant by "String..." in this code?

 public BroadMulticast(InetAddress multicastAddress, int port, int bufferLength, String... interfaceNames) throws IOException {
    this(multicastAddress, port, bufferLength, buildInterfaces(interfaceNames));
  }

Thank you.

the . . . means one can do this:

public BroadMulticast(someInetAddress, somePort, someBufferLength, stringOne, stringTwo, stringThree, stringFour, ...)

or

public BroadMulticast(someInetAddress, somePort, someBufferLength)

or


public BroadMulticast(someInetAddress, somePort, someBufferLength, stringOne)

It's like the System.out.printf() method
