💅 z_comp_reset — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to z_comp_reset(9) 🎀 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little reset button for your compressor and it serves.

✨ NAME ✨

z_comp_reset — reset a previously-allocated compressor. literally just wipe the slate clean on a compressor you already allocated 🫶

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

void z_comp_reset (void *arg );

no return value, no drama, she just does the thing 😌

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• arg — pointer to private state for the compressor. that's it, that's the whole vibe. hand her the private-state pointer and she'll take it from there 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? this clears the history for the compressor and makes it ready to start emitting a new compressed stream. 🧚

like, the compressor has memory of what it just did (the history), and this resets all that so it can start fresh on a brand new stream. think of it as clearing the group chat and starting a new one — same people, clean slate, new stream energy ⭐
