STRUCT SCOMP_ALG(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, meet struct scomp_alg(9) — the synchronous compression algorithm struct, straight from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is the whole vibe for algorithms that compress and decompress synchronously, and we're gonna go through every single member, no cap 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the exact struct, line breaks and all — don't let the formatting jump-scare you 😭:

       struct scomp_alg {
           int (*compress)(struct crypto_scomp *tfm, const u8 *src, unsigned
       int slen, u8 *dst, unsigned int *dlen, void *ctx);
           int (*decompress)(struct crypto_scomp *tfm, const u8 *src, unsigned
       int slen, u8 *dst, unsigned int *dlen, void *ctx);
           struct crypto_acomp_streams streams;
           union {
             struct COMP_ALG_COMMON;
             struct comp_alg_common calg;
           };
        };

💖 Members 💖

• compress — this function performs a compress operation, slay ✨
• decompress — this function performs a de-compress operation, the reverse vibe 💫
• streams — per-cpu memory for algorithm, literally per-cpu 🍓
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous. that's it, that's the whole note 🫠
• COMP_ALG_COMMON — see struct comp_alg_common for the lore 👀
• calg — the Cmonn algorithm data structure shared with acomp (yes, “Cmonn” — I'm not fixing it, I'm just reporting it 💀)
