Detailed Description

Union structure to hold an uint8 (byte) to provide access to 8-bit data with different "viewpoints" (or casts, if you will).

Note

Works on machines that store their data little-endian. If you use big-endian, the members will have to be reordered!

Prefix for all UINT8 structs is U8_
