[un]signed long fixed

A short fixed value1 is a 32 bit (or less) number representing a value with 16 bits on the left of the decimal point and 16 bits on the right.

When the value is smaller than 32 bits, we assume that only the least significant bits were defined (quite often only those after the decimal point.)
