Documentation should describe what the different bit settings do

[Former user]

At compile-time, I'm given the option of compiling in 8-bit, 10-bit, and 12-bit modes, and possibly compiling for all three simultaneously.

I have two questions: 1. What do these different bit modes do? 2. Can I have all of these modes supported in the same binary if it links to a shared object? I'm a packager providing libx265.so.* and x265 CLI.

The bug is that the documentation should at least attempt to describe what these different bit modes do and why they're important to me as an end-user or packager.

Yes, the multi-lib feature allows x265 CLI to dynamically load the appropriate library version in a shared build.
