12.2.10 unsigned-byte | Type
Supertypes: unsigned-byte, signed-byte, integer, rational, real, number, t Description: The atomic type specifier unsigned-byte denotes the same type as is denoted by the type specifier `(integer 0 *)`. Compound Type Specifier Kind: Abbreviating. 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. Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
