STRUCT JPEG_STREAM(9)

struct jpeg_stream(9) 🦋

okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s giving “tiny struct, very demure” energy. It’s literally the definition of a JPEG byte stream, bestie — no cap. 💖

💖 NAME 💖

struct jpeg_stream - JPEG byte stream. That’s the whole name, and yes it ate. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct jpeg_stream {
           u8 *curr;
           u8 *end;
        };

Look at that. Iconic. 🎀

🌸 Members 🌸

• curr — current position in stream 📍 like the “you are here” pin for the bytes.
• end — end position, after last byte 🏁 so it’s the spot right past the final byte, iykyk.
