What does "tp" stand for? Type something, I guess.
I think it's just short for "type". There's an old tradition
in C of giving member names a short prefix reminiscent of
the type they belong to. Not sure why, maybe someone thought
it helped readability.
In early ages of C structures didn't create namespaces, and member
names were globals.
That's nonsense. The reason is greppability.
Good reason!
