-  Start by initializing a context.
-  Use ZSTD_compressBegin(), or ZSTD_compressBegin_usingDict() for dictionary compression,

-  Then, consume your input using ZSTD_compressContinue().
-  There are some important considerations to keep in mind when using this advanced function :
-  - ZSTD_compressContinue() has no internal buffer. It uses externally provided buffers only.
-  - Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produces 1+ compressed blocks.
-  - Caller must ensure there is enough space in `dst` to store compressed data under worst case scenario.
-    Worst case evaluation is provided by ZSTD_compressBound().
-    ZSTD_compressContinue() doesn't guarantee recover after a failed compression.
-  - ZSTD_compressContinue() presumes prior input ***is still accessible and unmodified*** (up to maximum distance size, see WindowLog).
-    It remembers all previous contiguous blocks, plus one separated memory segment (which can itself consists of multiple contiguous blocks)
-  - ZSTD_compressContinue() detects that prior input has been overwritten when `src` buffer overlaps.
-    In which case, it will "discard" the relevant memory section from its history.

-  Finish a frame with ZSTD_compressEnd(), which will write the last block(s) and optional checksum.
-  It's possible to use srcSize==0, in which case, it will write a final empty block to end the frame.
-  Without last block mark, frames are considered unfinished (hence corrupted) by compliant decoders.

-  First typical operation is to retrieve frame parameters, using ZSTD_getFrameHeader().
-  Frame header is extracted from the beginning of compressed frame, so providing only the frame's beginning is enough.
-  Data fragment must be large enough to ensure successful decoding.
- `ZSTD_frameHeaderSize_max` bytes is guaranteed to always be large enough.
-  @result : 0 : successful decoding, the `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure is correctly filled.
-           >0 : `srcSize` is too small, please provide at least @result bytes on next attempt.
-           errorCode, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
 
-  It fills a ZSTD_frameHeader structure with important information to correctly decode the frame,
-  such as the dictionary ID, content size, or maximum back-reference distance (`windowSize`).
-  Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data corruption, or because a 3rd party deliberately spoofs false information.
-  As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range.
-  For example, do not allocate memory blindly, check that `windowSize` is within expectation.
-  Each application can set its own limits, depending on local restrictions.
-  For extended interoperability, it is recommended to support `windowSize` of at least 8 MB.

-  ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize` bytes.
-  ZSTD_decompressContinue() is very sensitive to contiguity,
-  if 2 blocks don't follow each other, make sure that either the compressor breaks contiguity at the same place,
-  or that previous contiguous segment is large enough to properly handle maximum back-reference distance.
-  There are multiple ways to guarantee this condition.

-  The most memory efficient way is to use a round buffer of sufficient size.
-  Sufficient size is determined by invoking ZSTD_decodingBufferSize_min(),

-  In a round buffer methodology, ZSTD_decompressContinue() decompresses each block next to previous one,
-  up to the moment there is not enough room left in the buffer to guarantee decoding another full block,

+  - ZSTD_compressContinue() has no internal buffer. It uses externally provided buffers only.
+  - Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produces 1+ compressed blocks.
+  - Caller must ensure there is enough space in `dst` to store compressed data under worst case scenario.
+    Worst case evaluation is provided by ZSTD_compressBound().
+    ZSTD_compressContinue() doesn't guarantee recover after a failed compression.
+  - ZSTD_compressContinue() presumes prior input ***is still accessible and unmodified*** (up to maximum distance size, see WindowLog).
+    It remembers all previous contiguous blocks, plus one separated memory segment (which can itself consists of multiple contiguous blocks)
+  - ZSTD_compressContinue() detects that prior input has been overwritten when `src` buffer overlaps.

+  It fills a ZSTD_frameHeader structure with important information to correctly decode the frame,
+  such as the dictionary ID, content size, or maximum back-reference distance (`windowSize`).
+  Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data corruption, or because a 3rd party deliberately spoofs false information.
+  As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range.
+  For example, do not allocate memory blindly, check that `windowSize` is within expectation.

+  ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize` bytes.
+  ZSTD_decompressContinue() is very sensitive to contiguity,
+  if 2 blocks don't follow each other, make sure that either the compressor breaks contiguity at the same place,
+  or that previous contiguous segment is large enough to properly handle maximum back-reference distance.
+  There are multiple ways to guarantee this condition.
 
-/* The following API works the same way as the advanced compression API :
- * a context is created, parameters are pushed into it one by one,
- * then the context can be used to decompress data using an interface similar to the straming API.
- */
+  The most memory efficient way is to use a round buffer of sufficient size.
+  Sufficient size is determined by invoking ZSTD_decodingBufferSize_min(),
+  which can @return an error code if required value is too large for current system (in 32-bits mode).
+  In a round buffer methodology, ZSTD_decompressContinue() decompresses each block next to previous one,
+  up to the moment there is not enough room left in the buffer to guarantee decoding another full block,
+  which maximum size is provided in `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure, field `blockSizeMax`.
+  At which point, decoding can resume from the beginning of the buffer.
+  Note that already decoded data stored in the buffer should be flushed before being overwritten.
