Print Page - What does "pchMessage" mean ?

Hey

I'm trying to understand some things about coins.

When I look to Saturncoin's main.cpp (https://github.com/saturncoinnet/Saturncoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2434), pchMessage value is :a

Code:

unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfa, 0xb4, 0xad, 0xcb };

In Litecoin's main.cpp (https://github.com/saturncoinnet/Saturncoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2434) :

Code:

unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xfb, 0xc0, 0xb6, 0xdb };

In Dogecoin (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master-1.5/src/main.cpp#L3141) :

Code:

unsigned char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xc0, 0xc0, 0xc0, 0xc0 };

So what is this and how it works ?
