In C, the nearest you'll get is a (n unsigned) char. This
may or may not correspond to what you want. Why do you want
to use "type byte"?
I think it's *exactly* what he wants. I consider "char" to be synomonous
with "byte".
(But I don't consider a byte to always be 8 bits.)
Maybe. It's certainly true that a char occupies exactly one "byte" by
definition in C, but that's a C-specific definition of the term
"byte". Given that the OP is asking about this in the first place, I
doubt that he's familiar with the C definition.
I don't think there's any further point in speculating about what the
OP really wants. He can come back and clarify what he means.
