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 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.
Compression can be done in:
- a single step (described as Simple API)
- a single step, reusing a context (described as Explicit memory management)
- unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
The compression ratio achievable on small data can be highly improved using a dictionary in:
- a single step (described as Simple dictionary API)
- a single step, reusing a dictionary (described as Fast dictionary API)
Advanced experimental functions can be accessed using #define ZSTD_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY before including zstd.h.
Advanced experimental APIs shall never be used with a dynamic library.
They are not "stable", their definition may change in the future. Only static linking is allowed.

* It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream in situations where many streaming operations will be achieved consecutively,
* since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
* Use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread for parallel execution.
*
* Start a new compression by initializing ZSTD_CStream.
* Use ZSTD_initCStream() to start a new compression operation.
* Use ZSTD_initCStream_usingDict() or ZSTD_initCStream_usingCDict() for a compression which requires a dictionary (experimental section)
*
* Use ZSTD_compressStream() repetitively to consume input stream.
* The function will automatically update both `pos` fields.
* Note that it may not consume the entire input, in which case `pos < size`,
* and it's up to the caller to present again remaining data.
* @return : a size hint, preferred nb of bytes to use as input for next function call
* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
* Note 1 : it's just a hint, to help latency a little, any other value will work fine.
* Note 2 : size hint is guaranteed to be <= ZSTD_CStreamInSize()
*
* At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data remains within internal buffer, using ZSTD_flushStream().
* `output->pos` will be updated.
* Note that some content might still be left within internal buffer if `output->size` is too small.
* @return : nb of bytes still present within internal buffer (0 if it's empty)
* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
*
* ZSTD_endStream() 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.
* ZSTD_endStream() may not be able to flush full data if `output->size` is too small.
* In which case, call again ZSTD_endStream() to complete the flush.
* @return : 0 if frame fully completed and fully flushed,
or >0 if some data is still present within internal buffer
(value is minimum size estimation for remaining data to flush, but it could be more)
* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

/**
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,
or ZSTD_compressBegin_advanced(), for finer parameter control.
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 buffer only.
- Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produce 1+ (or more) 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 will be considered unfinished (corrupted) by decoders.
`ZSTD_CCtx` object can be re-used (ZSTD_compressBegin()) to compress some new frame.

/*-
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().
It fills a ZSTD_frameHeader structure with important information to correctly decode the frame,
such as minimum rolling buffer size to allocate to decompress data (`windowSize`),
and the dictionary ID in use.
(Note : content size is optional, it may not be present. 0 means : content size unknown).
Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data malformation, or because an attacker is spoofing deliberate false information.
As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range, especially `windowSize`, before allocation.
Each application can set its own limit, depending on local restrictions.
For extended interoperability, it is recommended to support windowSize of at least 8 MB.
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().
Start decompression, with ZSTD_decompressBegin().
If decompression requires a dictionary, use ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict() or ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDDict().
Alternatively, you can copy a prepared context, using ZSTD_copyDCtx().
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, which is not an error; it just means ZSTD_decompressContinue() has decoded some metadata item.
It can also be an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError().
ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize`.
They should preferably be located contiguously, prior to current block.
Alternatively, a round buffer of sufficient size is also possible. Sufficient size is determined by frame parameters.
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.
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 a 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_decompressContinue() always returns 0.
For skippable frames ZSTD_getFrameHeader() returns fparamsPtr->windowLog==0 what means that a frame is skippable.
Note : If fparamsPtr->frameContentSize==0, it is ambiguous: the frame might actually be a Zstd encoded frame with no content.
For purposes of decompression, it is valid in both cases to skip the frame using
ZSTD_findFrameCompressedSize to find its size in bytes.
It also returns Frame Size as fparamsPtr->frameContentSize.

/**
Block functions
Block functions produce and decode raw zstd blocks, without frame metadata.
Frame metadata cost is typically ~18 bytes, which can be non-negligible for very small blocks (< 100 bytes).
User will have to take in charge required information 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
+ 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 size, consider using the regular ZSTD_compress() instead.
Frame metadata is not that costly, and quickly becomes negligible as source size grows larger.
- When a block is considered not compressible enough, ZSTD_compressBlock() result will be zero.
In which case, nothing is produced into `dst`.
+ User must test for such outcome and deal directly with uncompressed data
+ 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.
