  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 22.

  Levels >= 20, labelled `--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 compression with 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.

  These 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.

*  Streaming compression - HowTo

*

*  A ZSTD_CStream object is required to track streaming operation.

*  Use ZSTD_createCStream() and ZSTD_freeCStream() to create/release resources.

*  ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.

*  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.

*  Similar to ZSTD_flushStream(), it may not be able to flush the full content if `output->size` is too small.

*  In which case, call again ZSTD_endStream() to complete the flush.

*  @return : nb of bytes still present within internal buffer (0 if it's empty, hence compression completed)

*            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

 *  - The frame was built with dictID intentionally removed. Whatever dictionary is necessary is a hidden information.

 *    Note : this use case also happens when using a non-conformant dictionary.

 *  - `srcSize` is too small, and as a result, the frame header could not be decoded (only possible if `srcSize < ZSTD_FRAMEHEADERSIZE_MAX`).

 *  - This is not a Zstandard frame.

 *  When identifying the exact failure cause, it's possible to used ZSTD_getFrameParams(), which will provide a more precise error code. */
