typedef -- C Keyword Define a new data type typedef is a C facility that lets you define new data types. Such definitions are always made in terms of existing data types; for example, typedef long time_t; establishes the data type time_t, and defines it to be equivalent to a long. By convention, programmer-defined data types are written in capital letters. Judicious use of the typedef facility can make programs easier to maintain, and improve their portability.
