What does a type followed by _t (underscore-t) represent?

While typing in my IDE (Xcode), autocomplete pops up already-defined words when I'm partway thru entering some variable name. I occasionally see names that have '_t' at the end of them.

  1. What naming convention is that and what does it mean?

  2. Is there a reference document to look up pre- and post-fixes in common use?

Searching with the term "postfix" gives me a lot of GoogleNoise about the mail server of the same name.
