💖 create_lzss_pack_data(3) 💖

okay bestie, this one lives in the Allegro manual (the game programming library, yes that Allegro) and it's section 3, so it's a library function. It's giving "small but crucial", fr fr.

✨ NAME ✨

create_lzss_pack_data — creates an LZSS structure for compression. 🗜️✨

(and yeah, it's part of the Allegro game programming library, in case the whole vibe didn't already tell you 💅)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

LZSS_PACK_DATA *create_lzss_pack_data(void);

no arguments, no drama, just vibes 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So basically: this function creates an LZSS_PACK_DATA structure. That's the little data holder you use for LZSS compression together with PACKFILEs. 🌈

That's it. That's the whole job. It makes the structure, you take it and go do your compression thing with your packfiles, main character energy only 👑

---

💅 RETURN VALUE 💅

It returns a pointer to the structure. 🫶

And if something went wrong? It returns NULL. 😭 So like, please check for NULL, bestie, do not just raw-dog that pointer, i'm begging.

⚠️ Heads up: NULL means there was an error. It is not a "surprise structure", it is a "no structure", handle accordingly 🙈
