    Compound Type Specifier Syntax
    (unsigned-byte [s | *])
    Compound Type Specifier Arguments

    s — a positive integer.

    Compound Type Specifier Description

    This denotes the set of non-negative integers that can be represented in a byte of size s (bits). This is equivalent to (mod m) for m=2s, or to (integer 0 n) for n=2s-1. The type unsigned-byte or the type (unsigned-byte *) is the same as the type (integer 0 *), the set of non-negative integers.

    Notes

    The type (unsigned-byte 1) is also called bit.
