FSE_compress() does the following:
1. count symbol occurrence from source[] into table count[]
2. normalize counters so that sum(count[]) == Power_of_2 (2^tableLog)
3. save normalized counters to memory buffer using writeNCount()
4. build encoding table 'CTable' from normalized counters
5. encode the data stream using encoding table 'CTable'

FSE_decompress() does the following:
1. read normalized counters with readNCount()
2. build decoding table 'DTable' from normalized counters
3. decode the data stream using decoding table 'DTable'

The following API allows targeting specific sub-functions for advanced tasks.
For example, it's possible to compress several blocks using the same 'CTable',
or to save and provide normalized distribution using external method.

Tutorial :
----------
The first step is to count all symbols. FSE_count() does this job very fast.
Result will be saved into 'count', a table of unsigned int, which must be already allocated, and have 'maxSymbolValuePtr[0]+1' cells.
'src' is a table of bytes of size 'srcSize'. All values within 'src' MUST be <= maxSymbolValuePtr[0]
maxSymbolValuePtr[0] will be updated, with its real value (necessarily <= original value)
FSE_count() will return the number of occurrence of the most frequent symbol.
This can be used to know if there is a single symbol within 'src', and to quickly evaluate its compressibility.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

The next step is to normalize the frequencies.
FSE_normalizeCount() will ensure that sum of frequencies is == 2 ^'tableLog'.
It also guarantees a minimum of 1 to any Symbol with frequency >= 1.
You can use 'tableLog'==0 to mean "use default tableLog value".
If you are unsure of which tableLog value to use, you can ask FSE_optimalTableLog(),
which will provide the optimal valid tableLog given sourceSize, maxSymbolValue, and a user-defined maximum (0 means "default").

The result of FSE_normalizeCount() will be saved into a table,
called 'normalizedCounter', which is a table of signed short.
'normalizedCounter' must be already allocated, and have at least 'maxSymbolValue+1' cells.
The return value is tableLog if everything proceeded as expected.
It is 0 if there is a single symbol within distribution.
If there is an error (ex: invalid tableLog value), the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

'normalizedCounter' can be saved in a compact manner to a memory area using FSE_writeNCount().
'buffer' must be already allocated.
For guaranteed success, buffer size must be at least FSE_headerBound().
The result of the function is the number of bytes written into 'buffer'.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError(); ex : buffer size too small).

'normalizedCounter' can then be used to create the compression table 'CTable'.
The space required by 'CTable' must be already allocated, using FSE_createCTable().
You can then use FSE_buildCTable() to fill 'CTable'.
If there is an error, both functions will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

'CTable' can then be used to compress 'src', with FSE_compress_usingCTable().
Similar to FSE_count(), the convention is that 'src' is assumed to be a table of char of size 'srcSize'
The function returns the size of compressed data (without header), necessarily <= maxDstSize.
If it returns '0', compressed data could not fit into 'dst'.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

Tutorial :
----------
(Note : these functions only decompress FSE-compressed blocks.
 If block is uncompressed, use memcpy() instead
 If block is a single repeated byte, use memset() instead )

The first step is to obtain the normalized frequencies of symbols.
This can be performed by FSE_readNCount() if it was saved using FSE_writeNCount().
'normalizedCounter' must be already allocated, and have at least 'maxSymbolValuePtr[0]+1' cells of signed short.
In practice, that means it's necessary to know 'maxSymbolValue' beforehand,
or size the table to handle worst case situations (typically 256).
FSE_readNCount() will provide 'tableLog' and 'maxSymbolValue'.
The result of FSE_readNCount() is the number of bytes read from 'rBuffer'.
Note that 'rBufferSize' must be at least 4 bytes, even if useful information is less than that.
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError().

The next step is to build the decompression tables 'FSE_DTable' from 'normalizedCounter'.
This is performed by the function FSE_buildDTable().
The space required by 'FSE_DTable' must be already allocated using FSE_createDTable().
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError().

'FSE_DTable' can then be used to decompress 'cSrc', with FSE_decompress_usingDTable().
'cSrcSize' must be strictly correct, otherwise decompression will fail.
FSE_decompress_usingDTable() result will tell how many bytes were regenerated (<=maxDstSize).
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError(). (ex: dst buffer too small)
