Try the following code.

#include <stdio.h>

char (*pa())[4];
int main(){
        char(*p)[4]=pa();
        /*printf("%d",**p);*/
        printf("%d %d %d %d\n",(*p)[0],(*p)[1],(*p)[2],(*p)[3]);
        return 0;
}
char (*pa())[4]{
        static char arr[]={'\11','\12','\13','\14'};
        return &arr;
}
