💖 NAME

okay bestie, metalink_chunk_checksum_t is literally the structure that holds piece hashes for a resource ✨ and this is the METALINK_CHUNK_CHECKSUM_T(3) page from the libmetalink manual. It’s giving “tiny but important,” fr fr.

🦋 SYNOPSIS

include this header, bestie:

#include <metalink/metalink_types.h>

🌸 DESCRIPTION

metalink_chunk_checksum_t is a structure that holds piece hashes for a resource. It contains the length of a piece, a message digest algorithm name, and each hash value — and those hash values are stored in metalink_piece_hash_t(3) 💅.

🎀 STRUCTURE MEMBERS

here’s the whole vibe:

char *type;
int length;
metalink_piece_hash_t **piece_hashes;

type

a null-terminated string of a message digest algorithm name used to calculate the hash value for a resource 🔥.

length

the length of a piece in bytes 📏.

piece_hashes

a null-terminated array of pointers to metalink_piece_hash_t(3) structures 🫶. They are ordered so that a pointer to the metalink_piece_hash_t(3) of the ith piece can be accessed by piece_hashes[i] — iykyk 👑.
