/*! COVER_trainFromBuffer() :
Train a dictionary from an array of samples using the COVER algorithm.
Samples must be stored concatenated in a single flat buffer `samplesBuffer`,
supplied with an array of sizes `samplesSizes`, providing the size of each sample, in order.
The resulting dictionary will be saved into `dictBuffer`.
@return : size of dictionary stored into `dictBuffer` (<= `dictBufferCapacity`)
or an error code, which can be tested with ZDICT_isError().
Tips : In general, a reasonable dictionary has a size of ~ 100 KB.
It's obviously possible to target smaller or larger ones, just by specifying different `dictBufferCapacity`.
In general, it's recommended to provide a few thousands samples, but this can vary a lot.
It's recommended that total size of all samples be about ~x100 times the target size of dictionary.

/*! COVER_optimizeTrainFromBuffer() :
The same requirements as above hold for all the parameters except `parameters`.
This function tries many parameter combinations and picks the best parameters.
`*parameters` is filled with the best parameters found, and the dictionary
constructed with those parameters is stored in `dictBuffer`.
All of the {d, kMin, kStep, kMax} are optional, and smoothing is ignored.
If d is non-zero then we don't check multiple values of d, otherwise we check d = {6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16}.
If kStep is non-zero then it is used, otherwise we pick 8.
If kMin and kMax are non-zero, then they limit the search space for kMin and kMax,
otherwise we check kMin and kMax values in the range [32, 1024].
@return : size of dictionary stored into `dictBuffer` (<= `dictBufferCapacity`)
or an error code, which can be tested with ZDICT_isError().
On success `*parameters` contains the parameters selected.
