xz_dec_reset(9)

💅 xz_dec_reset(9)

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual bestie, and it's literally about resetting an already allocated decoder state. no biggie but also kind of iconic 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

xz_dec_reset — reset an already allocated decoder state

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void xz_dec_reset (struct xz_dec *s );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• s — the decoder state, and it's gotta be one you allocated using xz_dec_init, okurrr? 💖

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the vibe: this function lets you reset the multi-call decoder state without freeing and reallocating memory with xz_dec_end and xz_dec_init. like, why do all that extra work when you can just... reset? slay. ✨

Now listen up, because this is the important bit 👑 — in single-call mode, xz_dec_reset is always called at the beginning of xz_dec_run. so an explicit call to xz_dec_reset is useful only in multi-call mode. that's the whole tea, no cap. 🫖

lowkey the takeaway: single-call girlies are already covered, multi-call girlies gotta call it themselves 💅
