zstd - library files
================================
The __lib__ directory contains several files, but depending on target use case, some of them may not be necessary.
#### Minimal library files
##### Shared ressources
- [mem.h](mem.h)
- [error_private.h](error_private.h)
- [error_public.h](error_public.h)
##### zstd core compression
Stable API is exposed in [zstd.h].
Advanced and experimental API is exposed in `zstd_static.h`.
`zstd_static.h` API elements should be used with static linking only,
as their definition may change in future version of the library.
- [bitstream.h](bitstream.h)
- fse.c
- fse.h
- fse_static.h
- huff0.c
- huff0.h
- huff0_static.h
- zstd_compress.c
- zstd_decompress.c
- zstd_internal.h
- zstd_opt.h
- [zstd.h]
- zstd_static.h
[zstd.h]: zstd.h
#### Buffered streaming
This complementary API makes streaming integration easier.
It is used by `zstd` command line utility, and [7zip plugin](http://mcmilk.de/projects/7-Zip-ZStd) :
- zbuff.c
- zbuff.h
- zbuff_static.h
#### Dictionary builder
To create dictionaries from training sets :
- divsufsort.c
- divsufsort.h
- zdict.c
- zdict.h
- zdict_static.h
#### Miscellaneous
The other files are not source code. There are :
- LICENSE : contains the BSD license text
- Makefile : script to compile or install zstd library (static or dynamic)
- libzstd.pc.in : for pkg-config (make install)
