resources to find what Apple/Asahi acronyms mean:

• check out this table
• search with site:asahilinux.org (maybe they talked about it in the blog)
• grep the linux and m1n1 repos

some other random acronyms, mostly peripherals of the SoC:

• AIC → Apple Interrupt Controller
• AP → Application Processor (where the OS runs)
• DART → Device Address Resolution Table (IOMMU)

Decompresses a pbzx stream.

Simplified/corrected version of <https://gist.github.com/Lekensteyn/6e0840e77bc9bd013f57>

Example usage (from Python):

  decompress_pbzx(open('PayloadJava', 'rb'), open('PayloadJava.cpio', wb'))

[lz-string][] is a very popular library that compresses UTF-16 strings using a variation of the [LZ78][] algorithm where literals are only encoded once (and referred as dictionary indexes afterwards).

Despite its impressive 10 million downloads per week at the time of this writing, there is no official documentation on the wire format implemented by this library, and the horrible code quality makes it hard to understand from it. Furthermore, the code contains many bugs / gotchas, some of which are enumerated below. This is probably why many of the [numerous ports][ports] of the library blindly copy its code, doing little more

JNIEnv

(keep in mind that JNI methods get a JNIEnv *, not a direct JNIEnv)

given JNIEnv x, you can write ((void**)x)[N] to access a function pointer, where N is:

     4	GetVersion
     5	DefineClass
 6	FindClass
