His description's not quite right, but incomplete structure
declarations are an important aspect of encapsulation in C.

Ignore any mention of "typedef" for a moment. typedef is a misnomer,
since it doesn't define a type, just an alias for an existing type.
(It's also of questionable utility. Some people think it's useful for
defining complex function-pointer types; I say if you don't understand
C's function-pointer syntax, don't write C code.)

In C, new types are defined using the struct keyword (and sometimes
union, but that's really just a specialized struct). The struct
keyword can do either or both of two things:

- define a structure type
- introduce a type name into the struct-tag namespace

The former is necessary if you want to inspect the contents of an
object of the type, evaluate its size or the size of the type, etc.
But it is not necessary to define certain derivative types, such as
the const-qualified equivalent type, or the associated pointer type.

The latter is what lets you encapsulate. In a header, you provide an
incomplete structure declaration and an API that uses the pointer type
derived from it:

	struct foo;
	struct foo *CreateFoo();
	DoThingToFoo(struct foo *, ...);
	PureFunctionOnFoo(const struct foo *, ...);
	DeleteFoo(struct foo *);

Consumers of your API have no access to the implementation of struct
foo, so they're insulated from any changes to it. And since struct foo
* is a perfectly good object pointer, they can do whatever they'd do
with any other pointer, except dereference it.

(You can of course wrap "struct foo" in a typedef, if the people who
use your API are too lazy to type the word "struct".)

Note the initial "struct foo;" is necessary. Otherwise the use of an
unknown "struct foo" in the declarations of the API would only
introduce the type name in "prototype scope", which ends at the end of
each declaration. Prototype scope is basically useless.

This is a useful and fairly widely used technique - though not nearly
as widely as it should be. Of course, the API has to provide for
whatever its consumers need, since the consumers don't have direct
access to the contents of the structure, can't allocate or copy one, etc.
