That is similar to what a namespace does in C++. .

The only way that I can think of doing it in C would be to use 
function pointers as members of the structure and have some sort 
of initialisation/allocation function associated with it. 
Something like:

#include <stdio.h>

extern int Get();
extern int Put(int);

typedef struct
{
	int (*get)();
	int (*put)(int);

} text_io;

text_io *new_text_io(void)
{
	text_io *tio = (text_io*)malloc(sizeof(text_io));

	if (tio == NULL)
		return NULL;

	tio->get = Get;
	tio->put = Put;

	return tio;
}

int main()
{
	text_io *tio = new_text_io();

	if (tio != NULL)
	{
		int i = tio->get();
		tio->put(i);
	}
}

That could be fairly ugly for a lot of purposes but it may be 
useful for something.  Anyway, it does work.
