💖 lzss_read(3) — Allegro manual 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the LZSS decompression corner of the Allegro universe. This page is short but iconic, no cap. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

lzss_read — decompresses data using LZSS. Part of the Allegro game programming library. ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

#include <allegro.h>

int lzss_read(PACKFILE *file, LZSS_UNPACK_DATA *dat, int s, unsigned char *buf);

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So the way this works: it unpacks from dat into buf, and it keeps going until either EOF is reached or s bytes have been extracted from file. That's the whole plot. Main character energy, honestly. 💅

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

It returns the number of bytes added to the buffer buf. That's it. That's the number. Slay. 🔥
