zstd_create_dctx_advanced(9)

💖 zstd_create_dctx_advanced(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, section 9, and today's main character is zstd_create_dctx_advanced 💅 this is a real one from ./include/linux/zstd.h and she's lowkey the doorway to decompression. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

zstd_create_dctx_advanced — Create decompression context 🫶

like, literally it makes you a decompression context. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

zstd_dctx * zstd_create_dctx_advanced (zstd_custom_mem custom_mem );

one argument, one pointer back out. iconic, honestly 💜

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• custom_mem — your custom allocator 🧚 that's it, that's the whole parameter. you hand her your very own memory-allocation situation and she respects it. very "bring your own snacks to the party" of you.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

NULL on error 😭 — and a pointer to the decompression context otherwise 👑 so like... check for NULL, bestie, fr fr. don't just rawdog the pointer and hope. 🙈

ok and remember: you make a dctx with this, you're gonna need zstd_free_dctx(9) later. don't leave her hanging. that's not main character energy, that's just messy 💀
