zstd_free_cdict(9)

💅 zstd_free_cdict — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby page but it's important, i promise. it's giving "small but mighty" 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

zstd_free_cdict — free that compression dictionary, bestie. it's the cleanup era, we're releasing things 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

size_t zstd_free_cdict (zstd_cdict* cdict );

like yes, that's the whole thing. she's short. she's sweet. she's size_t for some reason and we'll get to that 😭

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cdict — pointer to the compression dictionary. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. hand it over and it gets freed 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

always returns 0. every single time. no drama, no error codes, no surprises — always 0. iconic behaviour honestly, more functions should be this unproblematic 🫶
