ITYM it should read

typedef struct user {
/* omitted for brevity */
user_interface *interface;
} user;

.... on the assumption that eventually you'll do things like

PGconn conn = ...;
user *ptr = ...;
ptr->interface->add(&conn, ptr);

I'm not finding anything by that name. Is this the precise title?

I don't think that he meant the "see also" literally.

No; fuzzy searching is called for. That was the phrase I
recall hearing back in the days when C++ was only spottily
available and when every system that had C++ had its very own
dialect (and when I worked on a 2.7Mloc O-O C program).
