🌸 NAME 🌸

plgcompression — the girl who tells you your current device-compression setting. lowkey a vibe check for your driver. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

plgcompression(compression)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so picture this: you wanna know what the current device-compression setting is. that's literally it. that's her whole thing. plgcompression gets the current device-compression setting and hands it right back to you. 🫶

real talk tho — this parameter is only used for drivers that provide compression. so if your driver isn't one of those, don't come for her, she's just doing her job. 💀

Redacted form: plgcompression(compression)

She's famous, actually — this function is used in example 31. main character energy fr fr. 👑
