STRUCT SND_COMPR_METADATA(9)

💅 struct snd_compr_metadata — compressed stream metadata 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct snd_compr_metadata(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, and honestly it's giving "small but mighty" — it's literally the little metadata carrier for compressed audio streams. no cap, she's iconic 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct snd_compr_metadata — compressed stream metadata 💖

like, that's her whole job. carrying metadata for a compressed stream. periodt.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing, character for character, don't touch:

struct snd_compr_metadata {
    __u32 key;
    __u32 value[8];
 };

that's it. that's the struct. two members, one of them's an array of 8, and honestly? she ate 🔥

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• key — the key id 👑 this is the identifier telling you which piece of metadata you're looking at.
• value — the key value 🍓 it's a __u32 array with 8 slots, so it's holding the actual data that goes along with that key.

ngl, this is a very demure, very mindful little struct. no drama, just vibes 💅
