/*******************************************************************************************************
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 context)
- 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 Bulk-processing 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()
*

* 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

/**
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 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.
`ZSTD_CCtx` object can be re-used (ZSTD_compressBegin()) to compress again.

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.
