Bits Question

Subject: Bits Question

Greetings,

I am finding the acronym "bits" all over the place, and presumably not
the "Binary digIT" kind, in libstdc++.

Examples are:
/usr/include/c++/4.4/x86_64-linux-gnu/32/bits/
/usr/include/c++/4.4/bits/

As well as non-libstdc++, such as...
/usr/include/bits

I am just curious. It looks like platform specific stuff, but I am not
certain. What does it stand for and when would a developer typically
use such a directory in their source tree for a given project?

Thank you.
