 - 
signed-byte,
integer,

  - Description:
 - 
The atomic type specifier signed-byte denotes the same 
type as is denoted by the type specifier integer;
however, the list forms of these two type specifiers have different semantics.
  - Compound Type Specifier Kind:
 - 
Abbreviating.
  - Compound Type Specifier Syntax:
 - 
(signed-byte [s | *])
  - Compound Type Specifier Arguments:
 - 
s - a positive integer.
  - Compound Type Specifier Description:
 - 
This denotes the set of integers that can be represented
in two's-complement form in a byte of s bits.  This is
equivalent to (integer -2s-1 2s-1-1).  The type
signed-byte or the type (signed-byte *) is the same
as the type integer.
