int type;
.ft
.SH DESCRIPTION

The argument should be one of the integer type codes
DOUBLE, FLOAT, LONG, SHORT, CHAR, DOUBLE_CPLX, FLOAT_CPLX, LONG_CPLX,
SHORT_CPLX, BYTE_CPLX, CODED, BYTE, EFILE, and AFILE
defined in the ESPS include file
.I esps.h.
The result
is the size, in bytes, of a single element of the given type,
as stored in memory\*-\c
for example,
.IR sizetyp ( DOUBLE ") =="
.IR sizeof ( double ).
BYTE has the same size as CHAR,
and
CODED has the same size as SHORT.
EFILE and AFILE have the same size as CHAR,
since they are represented as character arrays.
