  1. It defines ret as a pointer to a function which has no parameter () and returns int. So, Those () indicates the definition of parameters of a function.

  2. It’s for casting code to a pointer to a function which has no parameter () and returns int.

  3. Casts code as a function and assigns it to ret. After that you can call ret();.

 

unsigned char code[] =  "\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x6e\x2f\...

It is a sequence of machine instructions represented by hex values. It will be injected to the code as a function.
