coding style's a cool scene. Dig it!

  Hungarian notation is used extensively in Windows programming. It
may also be used on other platforms; it's up to the individual
programmer.
  This notation uses prefixes (as you asked above) to describe the
types of variables, eg.:
char *szStringName;     /* sz prefix signifies a NULL terminated string */
BOOL bToggle;           /* b prefix signifies a BOOL (typedef int BOOL) */
char cByte;             /* c prefix signifies a char type */
fnFunctionName();       /* fn prefix signifies a function */
int iNumber;            /* i prefix signifies an int */
long lNumber;           /* l prefix signifies a long int */
char far *lpData;       /* lp prefix signifies a far pointer */
unsigned long dwFoo;    /* dw prefix signifies a double word */
  These are just a few, but give you some idea about Hungarian
notation.
