How can functions return whole structures ?

Example:

struct    DATE
{
    unsigned char    day_of_week;
    unsigned short    year;
    unsigned char    month;
    unsigned char    day;
}

extern    struct DATE    GetDate(void);

int    main(void)
{
    struct   DATE    today;
    today = GetDate();
    printf("%u\n",today.day_of_week);
    printf("%U\n",today.year);
    printf("%u\n",today.month);
    printf("%u\n",today.day);
}
