what does typedef mean

Hi what does this statement mean ?

typedef enum {
RC5_0 = 0,
RC5_1 = 1,
RC5_X = 2 /* no emission */
} RC5_EMIT;

what does enum mean from the first place ? is it a structure?
 

what does typedef

enum is a data type in C, not a structure.
the code define a new data type "RC5_EMIT" and have the same meaning of
"enum{ RC5_0=0, RC5_1=1,RC5_X=2}".

Thanks alot for help ,,

I have some other questions if u dont mind

static const char *StateName[] : what sense does declaring the array as a pointer gives ? isnt the array already a pointer ?????!!!!
what does declaring a const char means ?

Thanks
 

Pointers to arrays are used in multidimensional arrays.
 

The array is a pointer, and it point to a constant char. The char can not change, it is constant, so using const char definition.

Like this:

Code:
const char *strings[] = 
{
"String one",
"String two",
"String three"
};

printf("%s", strings[0]);

prints String one

strings[0] = "String one", strings[1] = "String two" and strings[2] = "String three"

static is a scoping rule. The array can only be seen in the current file.
