LZ4_decompr...fe_usingDict(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet LZ4_decompress_safe_usingDict — a Kernel API Manual icon, and the whole NAME vibe is literally: same as LZ4_setStreamDecode() followed by LZ4_decompress_safe_continue(). no cap, that's the tea. 🫶✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int LZ4_decompress_safe_usingDict (const char *source , char *dest , int compressedSize , int maxDecompressedSize , const char *dictStart , int dictSize );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • source — source address of the compressed data. 🍓
  • dest — output buffer address of the uncompressed data which must be already allocated. 🎀
  • compressedSize — is the precise full size of the compressed block. ✨
  • maxDecompressedSize — is the size of 'dest' buffer. 🦋
  • dictStart — pointer to the start of the dictionary in memory. 🧚
  • dictSize — size of dictionary. 🌸

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

This decoding function works the same as a combination of LZ4_setStreamDecode followed by LZ4_decompress_safe_continue. It is stand-alone, and doesn't need an LZ4_streamDecode_t structure. periodt. 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It gives you the number of bytes decompressed into destination buffer (necessarily <= maxDecompressedSize) or a negative result in case of error. 😭💀
