Move zstd-related function to a separate file so it's easier to isolate the dependency on each decompression library. Reviewed-by: Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com> Link: https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/pull/58 Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.de.marchi@gmail.com> |

OVERVIEW
kmod is a set of tools to handle common tasks with Linux kernel modules like insert, remove, list, check properties, resolve dependencies and aliases.
These tools are designed on top of libkmod, a library that is shipped with kmod. See libkmod/README for more details on this library and how to use it. The aim is to be compatible with tools, configurations and indexes from module-init-tools project.
Compilation and installation
In order to compile the source code you need the following software packages: - GCC/CLANG compiler - GNU C library / musl / uClibc
Optional dependencies: - ZLIB library - LZMA library - ZSTD library - OPENSSL library (signature handling in modinfo)
Typical configuration:
./configure CFLAGS="-g -O2" --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib
Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.
To compile and install run: make && make install
Hacking
Run 'autogen.sh' script before configure. If you want to accept the recommended
flags, you just need to run autogen.sh c.
Make sure to read the CODING-STYLE file and the other READMEs: libkmod/README and testsuite/README.
Compatibility with module-init-tools
kmod replaced module-init-tools, which was EOL'ed in 2011. All the tools were rewritten on top of libkmod and they can be used as drop in replacements. Along the years there were a few behavior changes and new features implemented, following feedback from Linux kernel community and distros.
