+/*******************************************************************************
+  Introduction
+
+  zstd, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting
+  real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.
+  The zstd compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression
+  functions.
+
+  The library supports regular compression levels from 1 up to ZSTD_maxCLevel(),
+  which is currently 22. Levels >= 20, labeled `--ultra`, should be used with
+  caution, as they require more memory. The library also offers negative
+  compression levels, which extend the range of speed vs. ratio preferences.
+  The lower the level, the faster the speed (at the cost of compression).
+
+  Compression can be done in:
+    - a single step (described as Simple API)
+    - a single step, reusing a context (described as Explicit context)
+    - unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
+
+  The compression ratio achievable on small data can be highly improved using
+  a dictionary. Dictionary compression can be performed in:
+    - a single step (described as Simple dictionary API)
+    - a single step, reusing a dictionary (described as Bulk-processing
+      dictionary API)
+
+  Advanced experimental functions can be accessed using
+  `#define ZSTD_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY` before including zstd.h.
+
+  Advanced experimental APIs should never be used with a dynamically-linked
+  library. They are not "stable"; their definitions or signatures may change in
+  the future. Only static linking is allowed.

+*  Streaming compression - HowTo
+*
+*  A ZSTD_CStream object is required to track streaming operation.
+*  Use ZSTD_createCStream() and ZSTD_freeCStream() to create/release resources.
+*  ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.
+*  It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
+*
+*  For parallel execution, use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread.
+*
+*  note : since v1.3.0, ZSTD_CStream and ZSTD_CCtx are the same thing.
+*
+*  Parameters are sticky : when starting a new compression on the same context,
+*  it will re-use the same sticky parameters as previous compression session.
+*  When in doubt, it's recommended to fully initialize the context before usage.
+*  Use ZSTD_CCtx_reset() to reset the context and ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(),
+*  ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize(), or ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() and friends to
+*  set more specific parameters, the pledged source size, or load a dictionary.
+*
+*  Use ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_continue as many times as necessary to
+*  consume input stream. The function will automatically update both `pos`
+*  fields within `input` and `output`.
+*  Note that the function may not consume the entire input, for example, because
+*  the output buffer is already full, in which case `input.pos < input.size`.
+*  The caller must check if input has been entirely consumed.
+*  If not, the caller must make some room to receive more compressed data,
+*  and then present again remaining input data.
+*  note: ZSTD_e_continue is guaranteed to make some forward progress when called,
+*        but doesn't guarantee maximal forward progress. This is especially relevant
+*        when compressing with multiple threads. The call won't block if it can
+*        consume some input, but if it can't it will wait for some, but not all,
+*        output to be flushed.
+* @return : provides a minimum amount of data remaining to be flushed from internal buffers
+*           or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
+*
+*  At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data might remain stuck within internal buffer,
+*  using ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush. `output->pos` will be updated.
+*  Note that, if `output->size` is too small, a single invocation with ZSTD_e_flush might not be enough (return code > 0).
+*  In which case, make some room to receive more compressed data, and call again ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
+*  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush until it returns 0, at which point you can change the
+*  operation.
+*  note: ZSTD_e_flush will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
+*        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
+*  @return : 0 if internal buffers are entirely flushed,
+*            >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
+*            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
+*
+*  Calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end instructs to finish a frame.
+*  It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
+*  The epilogue is required for decoders to consider a frame completed.
+*  flush operation is the same, and follows same rules as calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
+*  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end until it returns 0, at which point you are free to
+*  start a new frame.
+*  note: ZSTD_e_end will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
+*        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
+*  @return : 0 if frame fully completed and fully flushed,
+*            >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),

+     * - The contents of the CDict can be copied into the working context. This

+     *   compression. For small compressions (< 8 KB), that copy can dominate
+     *   the cost of the compression.
+     *
+     * - The CDict's tables can be used in-place. In this model, compression is
+     *   slower per input byte, because the compressor has to search two sets of
+     *   tables. However, this model incurs no start-up cost (as long as the
+     *   working context's tables can be reused). For small inputs, this can be
+     *   faster than copying the CDict's tables.
+     *
+     * - The CDict's tables are not used at all, and instead we use the working
+     *   context alone to reload the dictionary and use params based on the source
+     *   size. See ZSTD_compress_insertDictionary() and ZSTD_compress_usingDict().
+     *   This method is effective when the dictionary sizes are very small relative
+     *   to the input size, and the input size is fairly large to begin with.
+     *
+     * Zstd has a simple internal heuristic that selects which strategy to use

+ *
+ * How to use it:
+ *
+ * When using a CDict, whether to use this feature or not is controlled at
+ * CDict creation, and it must be set in a CCtxParams set passed into that
+ * construction (via ZSTD_createCDict_advanced2()). A compression will then
+ * use the feature or not based on how the CDict was constructed; the value of
+ * this param, set in the CCtx, will have no effect.
+ *
+ * However, when a dictionary buffer is passed into a CCtx, such as via
+ * ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary(), this param can be set on the CCtx to control
+ * whether the CDict that is created internally can use the feature or not.
+ *
+ * What it does:
+ *
+ * Normally, the internal data structures of the CDict are analogous to what
+ * would be stored in a CCtx after compressing the contents of a dictionary.
+ * To an approximation, a compression using a dictionary can then use those
+ * data structures to simply continue what is effectively a streaming
+ * compression where the simulated compression of the dictionary left off.
+ * Which is to say, the search structures in the CDict are normally the same
+ * format as in the CCtx.
+ *
+ * It is possible to do better, since the CDict is not like a CCtx: the search
+ * structures are written once during CDict creation, and then are only read
+ * after that, while the search structures in the CCtx are both read and
+ * written as the compression goes along. This means we can choose a search
+ * structure for the dictionary that is read-optimized.
+ *
+ * This feature enables the use of that different structure.
+ *
+ * Note that some of the members of the ZSTD_compressionParameters struct have
+ * different semantics and constraints in the dedicated search structure. It is
+ * highly recommended that you simply set a compression level in the CCtxParams
+ * you pass into the CDict creation call, and avoid messing with the cParams
+ * directly.
+ *
+ * Effects:
+ *
+ * This will only have any effect when the selected ZSTD_strategy
+ * implementation supports this feature. Currently, that's limited to
+ * ZSTD_greedy, ZSTD_lazy, and ZSTD_lazy2.
+ *
+ * Note that this means that the CDict tables can no longer be copied into the
+ * CCtx, so the dict attachment mode ZSTD_dictForceCopy will no longer be
+ * usable. The dictionary can only be attached or reloaded.
+ *
+ * In general, you should expect compression to be faster--sometimes very much
+ * so--and CDict creation to be slightly slower. Eventually, we will probably
+ * make this mode the default.

+  Buffer-less streaming compression (synchronous mode)
+
+  A ZSTD_CCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
+  Use ZSTD_createCCtx() / ZSTD_freeCCtx() to manage resource.
+  ZSTD_CCtx object can be re-used multiple times within successive compression operations.
+
+  Start by initializing a context.
+  Use ZSTD_compressBegin(), or ZSTD_compressBegin_usingDict() for dictionary compression.
+  It's also possible to duplicate a reference context which has already been initialized, using ZSTD_copyCCtx()
+
+  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.
+

+  Buffer-less streaming decompression (synchronous mode)
+
+  A ZSTD_DCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
+  Use ZSTD_createDCtx() / ZSTD_freeDCtx() to manage it.
+  A ZSTD_DCtx object can be re-used multiple times.
+
+  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(),
+  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.
+
+  There are alternatives possible, for example using two or more buffers of size `windowSize` each, though they consume more memory.
+
+  Finally, if you control the compression process, you can also ignore all buffer size rules,
+  as long as the encoder and decoder progress in "lock-step",
+  aka use exactly the same buffer sizes, break contiguity at the same place, etc.
+
+  Once buffers are setup, start decompression, with ZSTD_decompressBegin().
+  If decompression requires a dictionary, use ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict() or ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDDict().
+
+  Then use ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() and ZSTD_decompressContinue() alternatively.
+  ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() tells how many bytes to provide as 'srcSize' to ZSTD_decompressContinue().
+  ZSTD_decompressContinue() requires this _exact_ amount of bytes, or it will fail.
+
+ @result of ZSTD_decompressContinue() is the number of bytes regenerated within 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity).
+  It can be zero : it just means ZSTD_decompressContinue() has decoded some metadata item.
+  It can also be an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError().
+
+  A frame is fully decoded when ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() returns zero.
+  Context can then be reset to start a new decompression.
+
+  Note : it's possible to know if next input to present is a header or a block, using ZSTD_nextInputType().
+  This information is not required to properly decode a frame.
+
+  == Special case : skippable frames ==
+
+  Skippable frames allow integration of user-defined data into a flow of concatenated frames.
+  Skippable frames will be ignored (skipped) by decompressor.
+  The format of skippable frames is as follows :
+  a) Skippable frame ID - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, any value from 0x184D2A50 to 0x184D2A5F
+  b) Frame Size - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, unsigned 32-bits
+  c) Frame Content - any content (User Data) of length equal to Frame Size
+  For skippable frames ZSTD_getFrameHeader() returns zfhPtr->frameType==ZSTD_skippableFrame.
+  For skippable frames ZSTD_decompressContinue() always returns 0 : it only skips the content.

+    Block functions produce and decode raw zstd blocks, without frame metadata.
+    Frame metadata cost is typically ~12 bytes, which can be non-negligible for very small blocks (< 100 bytes).
+    But users will have to take in charge needed metadata to regenerate data, such as compressed and content sizes.
+
+    A few rules to respect :
+    - Compressing and decompressing require a context structure
+      + Use ZSTD_createCCtx() and ZSTD_createDCtx()
+    - It is necessary to init context before starting
+      + compression : any ZSTD_compressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
+      + decompression : any ZSTD_decompressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
+      + copyCCtx() and copyDCtx() can be used too
+    - Block size is limited, it must be <= ZSTD_getBlockSize() <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX == 128 KB
+      + If input is larger than a block size, it's necessary to split input data into multiple blocks
+      + For inputs larger than a single block, consider using regular ZSTD_compress() instead.
+        Frame metadata is not that costly, and quickly becomes negligible as source size grows larger than a block.
+    - When a block is considered not compressible enough, ZSTD_compressBlock() result will be 0 (zero) !
+      ===> In which case, nothing is produced into `dst` !
+      + User __must__ test for such outcome and deal directly with uncompressed data
+      + A block cannot be declared incompressible if ZSTD_compressBlock() return value was != 0.
+        Doing so would mess up with statistics history, leading to potential data corruption.
+      + ZSTD_decompressBlock() _doesn't accept uncompressed data as input_ !!
+      + In case of multiple successive blocks, should some of them be uncompressed,
+        decoder must be informed of their existence in order to follow proper history.
+        Use ZSTD_insertBlock() for such a case.
