 byte
To emphasize that certain functions must operate on 8-bit bytes, the term
byte is used as a type specifier. Byte is actually a type character, not a
standard C keyword. Parameters defined by byte are not standard C
characters, they are 8-bit bytes. This function does not work in an
application unless first declared with typedef or #define.
