What are the difference between byte code and bit code [duplicate]

What are the differences between LLVM and java bytecode?

For example, in LLVM, it said..

What is commonly known as the LLVM bitcode file format 
(also, sometimes anachronistically known as bytecode) is actually two things: 
a bitstream container format and an encoding of LLVM IR into the container 
format.

I only know Java Bytecode which is platform independent which can be run by the JVM

But for the LLVM bit code, are there more concrete examples?

Answer 1

From the LLVM mailing list:

The format is literally a bitstream, not a bytestream. See this document for more details: http://llvm.org/docs/BitCodeFormat.html
