zstd_init_dctx(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is zstd_init_dctx(9), straight from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the “spin up a zstd decompression context” girlie 💅

zstd_init_dctx — initialize a zstd decompression context. no cap, that's the whole job ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

zstd_dctx * zstd_init_dctx (void *workspace , size_t workspace_size );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• workspace — the workspace you're emplacing the context into 🫶 it must outlive the returned context, fr fr. don't let it ghost early.
• workspace_size — the size of workspace 🌸 use zstd_dctx_workspace_bound to determine how large the workspace must be. that's your vibe check for the size, bestie.

🦋 RETURN 🦋

a zstd decompression context, or NULL on error 😭 that's it. that's the return.
