Query on some code found within a struct

[Simon2005]

Hi,
This is a segement of code taken from Warren Young's FAQ on Winsock @
http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/

struct Connection {
SOCKET sd;
char acBuffer[kBufferSize];
int nCharsInBuffer;
Connection(SOCKET sd_) : sd(sd_), nCharsInBuffer(0) { }
};

Any idea what the second last line means? Is it an initialiser or
something?

Thanks,

Simon

It's C++ code (`Connection()' is a constructor with initializers), hence
off-topic here.

HTH,

Thought it might be C++. But the struct keyword made me think
otherwise.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

But struct is the same as class in C++. The difference is only
if private or public is the default at the top of the struct/class.
