zstd_cctx_w...ext_seq_prod(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okok so zstd_cctx_workspace_bound_with_ext_seq_prod — bestie, it's literally the function that tells you the max memory you need to initialize a zstd_cctx when you're out here using the block-level external sequence producer API. that's it, that's the whole vibe ✨

it's a Kernel API Manual page, section 9, and yes she's iconic 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

size_t zstd_cctx_workspace_bound_with_ext_seq_prod (const zstd_compression_parameters *parameters );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• parameters — the compression parameters you're gonna use. that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance 🎀

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea 🫖: if there's a chance you might use multiple sets of compression parameters, you can't just call this once and call it a day. nope. the caller must call this function for each set of parameters, and then use the maximum size out of all of 'em. no cap, that's the rule 💀

---

💜 RETURN 💜

it hands you back a lower bound on the size of the workspace — y'know, the thing you pass to zstd_init_cctx. lower bound, not exact, so don't come for her 🙈
