METALINK_FILE_T(3)

💖 metalink_file_t(3) — libmetalink Manual 💖

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the metalink_file_t(3) page from the libmetalink Manual. This one is literally:

metalink_file_t — The structure that holds information of a single file. periodt 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <metalink/metalink_types.h>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

metalink_file_t is a structure that holds information of a single file. It contains an array of URLs (metalink_resource_t(3)), checksums and metadata for a file. That’s the whole main-character job, and it ate. 💖

---

👑 STRUCTURE MEMBERS 👑

Here’s the struct in all its glory, copied exactly so you can trust the vibe check:

char *name;
long long int size;
char *version;
char *language;
char *os;
metalink_resource_t **resources;
int maxconnections;
metalink_checksum_t **checksums;
metalink_chunk_checksum_t *chunk_checksum;

🏷️ name

Null terminated file name of the resource which corresponds to name element in Metalink XML file. Cute, direct, does what it says. ✨

📏 size

Length of the resource in bytes. That’s it, that’s the number. 🍓

🔖 version

Null terminated version string which corresponds to version element in Metalink XML file. Iconic little string behavior. 💜

🗣️ language

Null terminated language string which corresponds to language element in Metalink XML file. She speaks fluent Metalink XML. 🌈

💻 os

Null terminated os string which corresponds to os element in Metalink XML file. Okay bestie, tell us the operating system. 🎀

🔗 resources

Null terminated array of pointer of metalink_resource_t(3) structure. This corresponds to resources element in Metalink XML file. Each metalink_resource_t(3) structure corresponds to url element in Metalink XML file. So many links, so much slay. 🦋

🚦 maxconnections

This is a value of maxconnections attribute of file element. This value is usually used for upper limit of concurrent connections for the resource. Ngl, it’s the “how many at once” number. 🔥

🧾 checksums

Null terminated array of pointer of metalink_checksum_t(3) structure. This field is an array because in Metalink specification, verification element can contain multiple hash elements. Each metalink_checksum_t(3) structure corresponds to hash element in Metalink XML file. Multiple hashes? Obsessed. 💖

🧩 chunk_checksum

The chunk checksum(aka piece hash) for the resource. This corresponds to pieces element under verification element in Metalink XML file. Tiny pieces, big checksum energy. 💅
