✨ zstd_cctx_set_param ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for zstd_cctx_set_param(9) — yes that (9) is the section number, we're in the kernel section, very demure, very mindful 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

zstd_cctx_set_param — sets a compression parameter. that's it. that's the whole job. she sets one param and she goes home 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

size_t zstd_cctx_set_param (zstd_cctx *cctx , zstd_cparameter param ,
int value );

like, look at her. three args, one return value, zero drama (mostly) ✨

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • cctx — the context, your main character. 🫶 she must have been initialized with zstd_init_cctx first, no cap. don't be out here passing an uninitialized context, that's not the vibe.
  • param — the parameter you wanna set. the zstd_cparameter in question. pick your fighter 💀
  • value — the value you're setting that parameter to. an int. simple. iconic.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

zero, or an error 😭 and if you get an error you can check it with zstd_is_error. that's literally the whole return story, go check your errors bestie, i'm begging 🧚
