"Had" in front of sentence

I have read this sentence from a book "Conversations with God" -

Had you already spoken so clearly on these questions, you would not be asking them.

Here a 'had' is placed in front of the sentence but a question mark is not there at the end. What is this structure saying ?

It means 'If you had already spoken so clearly on these questions, you would not be asking them'. It's not a question.
