using struct keyword in variable declaration in C++

Question

I have a feeling this may be related to C syntax, but I started my programming life with C++ so I am not sure.

Basically I have seen this:

struct tm

You can see the reference linked below and quoting from there "In C, you must explicitly use the struct keyword to declare a structure. In C++, this is unnecessary once the type has been defined." See the link for more information and examples.
