STRUCT UBIFS_COMPRESSOR(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ubifs_compressor — the little struct that describes a UBIFS compressor, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

Oh and hey, this is from the Kernel API Manual — keep that in your notes for the quiz. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole entire struct, no cap, every line exactly as it is:

struct ubifs_compressor {
    int compr_type;
    struct crypto_acomp *cc;
    const char *name;
    const char *capi_name;
};

like... it's giving "small but mighty" and I'm obsessed. 🎀

💖 Members 💖

every single field, explained with love, because you deserve to know:

• compr_type — the compressor type, fr fr. Think UBIFS_COMPR_LZO, etc. That's the one. 👑
• cc — the cryptoapi compressor handle. your actual crypto connection, main character energy. 🔥
• name — the compressor name. literally just the name, slay. 🌸
• capi_name — the cryptoapi compressor name. yes bestie, there are two names — name is the compressor name and capi_name is the cryptoapi compressor name, and both are const char *, and I need you to not mix them up 🙈
