What does this reflexive typedef mean?

61 views Asked by At

I was browsing the Systemd / Journald header files, and in /usr/include/systemd/sd-journal.h, I noticed this line of code:

typedef struct sd_journal sd_journal;

It seems that the struct sd_journal is defined as... sd_journal. What does this reflexive / recursive typedef actually mean?
