Opaque is normal everyday word in English. Its dictionary meaning is
here:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/opaque

In the context of code code you posted, opaque means that the code gets
passed a pointer to something, but the code doesn't know what it points
to (eg it could be a struct, or a value, or an array etc).

HTH,
Erik
