Maybe a good use of the "pair_chunk" name would be something like: int pair_chunk(struct chunkfile *cf, uint32_t id, const unsigned char **p); which does the same as what you wrote here. So instead of what you wrote, you could instead: pair_chunk(cf, MIDX_CHUNKID_PACKNAMES, &m->chunk_pack_names); This would be in addition to the richer callback-style function which allows the caller greater flexibility (e.g., for the Bloom filter related readers in the commit-graph code).
