typedef struct vs struct

Posted by Benjamin Johnston on 2000-02-05

I haven't programmed C for a long time (and I never really learnt it
properly in the first place), but as I was reading over some Windows C
programming documents, I came across "typedef struct".

Anyway, my question is... what is the difference between the following two
code snippets? (ie. do they do essentially the same thing?):

typedef struct tagMSG {
    ....
    ....
} MSG;

and the other one is:

struct MSG {
    ...
    ...
};

Thanks,
