📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, this page is zstd_init_dstream(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the init moment for a zstd streaming decompression context. 💅✨

zstd_init_dstream — initialize a zstd streaming decompression context

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

zstd_dstream * zstd_init_dstream (size_t max_window_size , void
       *workspace , size_t workspace_size );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • max_window_size — the maximum window size allowed for compressed frames. That's the cap, periodt. 🔥
  • workspace — the workspace to emplace the context into. It must outlive the returned context — like, do not let this thing dip before the context does, fr fr. 😭
  • workspace_size — the manpage literally says -- undescribed --, so we're not gonna invent lore. 🙈

👑 RETURN 👑

The zstd streaming decompression context. That's the whole return value, bestie. 🫶
