zstd_get_params(9)

💖 zstd_get_params(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for zstd_get_params(9) — yes this is kernel-side zstd, yes it's glamorous, no you can't skip it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

zstd_get_params — hands you back the zstd_parameters for whatever compression level you picked 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zstd_parameters zstd_get_params (int level , unsigned long long estimated_src_size );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• level — the compression level, like, the whole vibe of how hard it's gonna squeeze. your call, babe ✨
• estimated_src_size — the estimated source size you're planning to compress, or 0 if you literally have no idea and you're just free-spiriting it 🙈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

the selected zstd_parameters 💖 that's it, that's the gift, slay.
