Weird (?) explicit declaration of functions

Hello

I have read about a C shared library which I want to use in my C
program. (It's a library to encode/decode packets from/to a serial bus
running with the SNAP-protocol).

Unfortunatly there is no source code available, just a C file with
function declarations like:

long SendData(TXData)Type_TXData *TXData;
Void GetStatistics(Stat)Type_Statistics *Stat;

My problem is, I don't understand what it means. Is it equivalent to
long SendData(Type_TXData *TXData);
- which makes a lot more sense to me?

Is there a good reason to use this strange syntax?
