+/*-***********************************************************
+*  Streaming compression
+*
+*  A ZBUFF_CCtx object is required to track streaming operation.
+*  Use ZBUFF_createCCtx() and ZBUFF_freeCCtx() to create/release resources.
+*  Use ZBUFF_compressInit() to start a new compression operation.
+*  ZBUFF_CCtx objects can be reused multiple times.
+*
+*  Use ZBUFF_compressContinue() repetitively to consume your input.
+*  *srcSizePtr and *dstCapacityPtr can be any size.
+*  The function will report how many bytes were read or written by modifying *srcSizePtr and *dstCapacityPtr.
+*  Note that it may not consume the entire input, in which case it's up to the caller to call again the function with remaining input.
+*  The content of dst will be overwritten (up to *dstCapacityPtr) at each function call, so save its content if it matters or change dst .
+*  @return : a hint to preferred nb of bytes to use as input for next function call (it's only a hint, to improve latency)
+*            or an error code, which can be tested using ZBUFF_isError().
+*
+*  ZBUFF_compressFlush() can be used to instruct ZBUFF to compress and output whatever remains within its buffer.
+*  Note that it will not output more than *dstCapacityPtr.
+*  Therefore, some content might still be left into its internal buffer if dst buffer is too small.
+*  @return : nb of bytes still present into internal buffer (0 if it's empty)
+*            or an error code, which can be tested using ZBUFF_isError().
+*
+*  ZBUFF_compressEnd() instructs to finish a frame.
+*  It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
+*  Similar to ZBUFF_compressFlush(), it may not be able to output the entire internal buffer content if *dstCapacityPtr is too small.
+*  @return : nb of bytes still present into internal buffer (0 if it's empty)
+*            or an error code, which can be tested using ZBUFF_isError().
+*
+*  Hint : recommended buffer sizes (not compulsory)
+*  input : ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX (128 KB), internal unit size, it improves latency to use this value.
+*  output : ZSTD_compressBound(ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX) + ZSTD_blockHeaderSize + ZBUFF_endFrameSize : ensures it's always possible to write/flush/end a full block at best speed.
