File Format
Name Byte
Ontology

The term byte has many subtly-different definitions, but it usually means the smallest unit of data storage that some computer can conveniently address. On modern computers, a byte is inevitably equivalent to exactly 8 bits worth of storage, so it can store one of 256 (28) discrete values.

Bytes can be the building blocks of files.
