30     Introduction
31 
32     zstd, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting
33     real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.
34     The zstd compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression
35     functions.
36 
37     The library supports regular compression levels from 1 up to ZSTD_maxCLevel(),
38     which is currently 22. Levels >= 20, labeled `--ultra`, should be used with
39     caution, as they require more memory. The library also offers negative
40     compression levels, which extend the range of speed vs. ratio preferences.
41     The lower the level, the faster the speed (at the cost of compression).
42 
43     Compression can be done in:
44     - a single step (described as Simple API)
45     - a single step, reusing a context (described as Explicit context)
46     - unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
47 
48     The compression ratio achievable on small data can be highly improved using
49     a dictionary. Dictionary compression can be performed in:
50     - a single step (described as Simple dictionary API)
51     - a single step, reusing a dictionary (described as Bulk-processing
52       dictionary API)
53 
54     Advanced experimental functions can be accessed using
55     `#define ZSTD_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY` before including zstd.h.
56 
57     Advanced experimental APIs should never be used with a dynamically-linked
58     library. They are not "stable"; their definitions or signatures may change in
59     the future. Only static linking is allowed.

599 *  Streaming compression - HowTo
600 *
601 *  A ZSTD_CStream object is required to track streaming operation.
602 *  Use ZSTD_createCStream() and ZSTD_freeCStream() to create/release resources.
603 *  ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.
604 *  It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
605 *
606 *  For parallel execution, use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread.
607 *
608 *  note : since v1.3.0, ZSTD_CStream and ZSTD_CCtx are the same thing.
609 *
610 *  Parameters are sticky : when starting a new compression on the same context,
611 *  it will re-use the same sticky parameters as previous compression session.
612 *  When in doubt, it's recommended to fully initialize the context before usage.
613 *  Use ZSTD_CCtx_reset() to reset the context and ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(),
614 *  ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize(), or ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() and friends to
615 *  set more specific parameters, the pledged source size, or load a dictionary.
616 *
617 *  Use ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_continue as many times as necessary to
618 *  consume input stream. The function will automatically update both `pos`
619 *  fields within `input` and `output`.
620 *  Note that the function may not consume the entire input, for example, because
621 *  the output buffer is already full, in which case `input.pos < input.size`.
622 *  The caller must check if input has been entirely consumed.
623 *  If not, the caller must make some room to receive more compressed data,
624 *  and then present again remaining input data.
625 *  note: ZSTD_e_continue is guaranteed to make some forward progress when called,
626 *        but doesn't guarantee maximal forward progress. This is especially relevant
627 *        when compressing with multiple threads. The call won't block if it can
628 *        consume some input, but if it can't it will wait for some, but not all,
629 *        output to be flushed.
630 * @return : provides a minimum amount of data remaining to be flushed from internal buffers
631 *           or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

633 *  At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data might remain stuck within internal buffer,
634 *  using ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush. `output->pos` will be updated.
635 *  Note that, if `output->size` is too small, a single invocation with ZSTD_e_flush might not be enough (return code > 0).
636 *  In which case, make some room to receive more compressed data, and call again ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
637 *  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush until it returns 0, at which point you can change the
638 *  operation.
639 *  note: ZSTD_e_flush will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
640 *        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
641 *  @return : 0 if internal buffers are entirely flushed,
642 *            >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
643 *            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
644 *
645 *  Calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end instructs to finish a frame.
646 *  It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
647 *  The epilogue is required for decoders to consider a frame completed.
648 *  flush operation is the same, and follows same rules as calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
649 *  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end until it returns 0, at which point you are free to
650 *  start a new frame.
651 *  note: ZSTD_e_end will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
652 *        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.

764 *  If `input.pos < input.size`, some input has not been consumed.
765 *  It's up to the caller to present again remaining data.
766 *  The function tries to flush all data decoded immediately, respecting output buffer size.
767 *  If `output.pos < output.size`, decoder has flushed everything it could.
768 *  But if `output.pos == output.size`, there might be some data left within internal buffers.,
769 *  In which case, call ZSTD_decompressStream() again to flush whatever remains in the buffer.
770 *  Note : with no additional input provided, amount of data flushed is necessarily <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX.

1242      *
1243      * - The contents of the CDict can be copied into the working context. This
1244      *   means that the compression can search both the dictionary and input
1245      *   while operating on a single set of internal tables. This makes
1246      *   the compression faster per-byte of input. However, the initial copy of
1247      *   the CDict's tables incurs a fixed cost at the beginning of the
1248      *   compression. For small compressions (< 8 KB), that copy can dominate
1249      *   the cost of the compression.
1250      *
1251      * - The CDict's tables can be used in-place. In this model, compression is
1252      *   slower per input byte, because the compressor has to search two sets of
1253      *   tables. However, this model incurs no start-up cost (as long as the
1254      *   working context's tables can be reused). For small inputs, this can be
1255      *   faster than copying the CDict's tables.
1256      *
1257      * - The CDict's tables are not used at all, and instead we use the working
1258      *   context alone to reload the dictionary and use params based on the source
1259      *   size. See ZSTD_compress_insertDictionary() and ZSTD_compress_usingDict().
1260      *   This method is effective when the dictionary sizes are very small relative

1264      * at the beginning of a compression. However, if experimentation shows that

1743  * prepared for surprising behavior!
1744  *
1745  * How to use it:
1746  *
1747  * When using a CDict, whether to use this feature or not is controlled at
1748  * CDict creation, and it must be set in a CCtxParams set passed into that
1749  * construction (via ZSTD_createCDict_advanced2()). A compression will then
1750  * use the feature or not based on how the CDict was constructed; the value of
1751  * this param, set in the CCtx, will have no effect.
1752  *
1753  * However, when a dictionary buffer is passed into a CCtx, such as via
1754  * ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary(), this param can be set on the CCtx to control
1755  * whether the CDict that is created internally can use the feature or not.
1756  *
1757  * What it does:
1758  *
1759  * Normally, the internal data structures of the CDict are analogous to what
1760  * would be stored in a CCtx after compressing the contents of a dictionary.
1761  * To an approximation, a compression using a dictionary can then use those
1762  * data structures to simply continue what is effectively a streaming
1763  * compression where the simulated compression of the dictionary left off.
1764  * Which is to say, the search structures in the CDict are normally the same
1765  * format as in the CCtx.
1766  *
1767  * It is possible to do better, since the CDict is not like a CCtx: the search
1768  * structures are written once during CDict creation, and then are only read
1769  * after that, while the search structures in the CCtx are both read and
1770  * written as the compression goes along. This means we can choose a search
1771  * structure for the dictionary that is read-optimized.
1772  *
1773  * This feature enables the use of that different structure.
1774  *
1775  * Note that some of the members of the ZSTD_compressionParameters struct have
1776  * different semantics and constraints in the dedicated search structure. It is
1777  * highly recommended that you simply set a compression level in the CCtxParams
1778  * you pass into the CDict creation call, and avoid messing with the cParams
1779  * directly.
1780  *
1781  * Effects:
1782  *
1783  * This will only have any effect when the selected ZSTD_strategy
1784  * implementation supports this feature. Currently, that's limited to
1785  * ZSTD_greedy, ZSTD_lazy, and ZSTD_lazy2.
1786  *
1787  * Note that this means that the CDict tables can no longer be copied into the
1788  * CCtx, so the dict attachment mode ZSTD_dictForceCopy will no longer be
1789  * usable. The dictionary can only be attached or reloaded.
1790  *
1791  * In general, you should expect compression to be faster--sometimes very much
1792  * so--and CDict creation to be slightly slower. Eventually, we will probably
1793  * make this mode the default.

2344 
2345     A ZSTD_CCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
2346     Use ZSTD_createCCtx() / ZSTD_freeCCtx() to manage resource.
2347     ZSTD_CCtx object can be re-used multiple times within successive compression operations.
2348 
2349     Start by initializing a context.
2350     Use ZSTD_compressBegin(), or ZSTD_compressBegin_usingDict() for dictionary compression.
2351     It's also possible to duplicate a reference context which has already been initialized, using ZSTD_copyCCtx()
2352 
2353     Then, consume your input using ZSTD_compressContinue().
2354     There are some important considerations to keep in mind when using this advanced function :
2355     - ZSTD_compressContinue() has no internal buffer. It uses externally provided buffers only.
2356     - Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produces 1+ compressed blocks.
2357     - Caller must ensure there is enough space in `dst` to store compressed data under worst case scenario.
2358     Worst case evaluation is provided by ZSTD_compressBound().
2359     ZSTD_compressContinue() doesn't guarantee recover after a failed compression.
2360     - ZSTD_compressContinue() presumes prior input ***is still accessible and unmodified*** (up to maximum distance size, see WindowLog).
2361     It remembers all previous contiguous blocks, plus one separated memory segment (which can itself consists of multiple contiguous blocks)
2362     - ZSTD_compressContinue() detects that prior input has been overwritten when `src` buffer overlaps.
2363     In which case, it will "discard" the relevant memory section from its history.
2364 
2365     Finish a frame with ZSTD_compressEnd(), which will write the last block(s) and optional checksum.
2366     It's possible to use srcSize==0, in which case, it will write a final empty block to end the frame.
2367     Without last block mark, frames are considered unfinished (hence corrupted) by compliant decoders.
2368 
2369     `ZSTD_CCtx` object can be re-used (ZSTD_compressBegin()) to compress again.

2393     A ZSTD_DCtx object can be re-used multiple times.
2394 
2395     First typical operation is to retrieve frame parameters, using ZSTD_getFrameHeader().
2396     Frame header is extracted from the beginning of compressed frame, so providing only the frame's beginning is enough.
2397     Data fragment must be large enough to ensure successful decoding.
2398  `ZSTD_frameHeaderSize_max` bytes is guaranteed to always be large enough.
2399     @result : 0 : successful decoding, the `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure is correctly filled.
2400            >0 : `srcSize` is too small, please provide at least @result bytes on next attempt.
2401            errorCode, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
2402 
2403     It fills a ZSTD_frameHeader structure with important information to correctly decode the frame,
2404     such as the dictionary ID, content size, or maximum back-reference distance (`windowSize`).
2405     Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data corruption, or because a 3rd party deliberately spoofs false information.
2406     As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range.
2407     For example, do not allocate memory blindly, check that `windowSize` is within expectation.
2408     Each application can set its own limits, depending on local restrictions.
2409     For extended interoperability, it is recommended to support `windowSize` of at least 8 MB.
2410 
2411     ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize` bytes.
2412     ZSTD_decompressContinue() is very sensitive to contiguity,
2413     if 2 blocks don't follow each other, make sure that either the compressor breaks contiguity at the same place,
2414     or that previous contiguous segment is large enough to properly handle maximum back-reference distance.
2415     There are multiple ways to guarantee this condition.
2416 
2417     The most memory efficient way is to use a round buffer of sufficient size.
2418     Sufficient size is determined by invoking ZSTD_decodingBufferSize_min(),
2419     which can @return an error code if required value is too large for current system (in 32-bits mode).
2420     In a round buffer methodology, ZSTD_decompressContinue() decompresses each block next to previous one,
2421     up to the moment there is not enough room left in the buffer to guarantee decoding another full block,
2422     which maximum size is provided in `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure, field `blockSizeMax`.
2423     At which point, decoding can resume from the beginning of the buffer.
2424     Note that already decoded data stored in the buffer should be flushed before being overwritten.
2425 
2426     There are alternatives possible, for example using two or more buffers of size `windowSize` each, though they consume more memory.
2427 
2428     Finally, if you control the compression process, you can also ignore all buffer size rules,
2429     as long as the encoder and decoder progress in "lock-step",
2430     aka use exactly the same buffer sizes, break contiguity at the same place, etc.
2431 
2432     Once buffers are setup, start decompression, with ZSTD_decompressBegin().
2433     If decompression requires a dictionary, use ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict() or ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDDict().
2434 
2435     Then use ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() and ZSTD_decompressContinue() alternatively.
2436     ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() tells how many bytes to provide as 'srcSize' to ZSTD_decompressContinue().
2437     ZSTD_decompressContinue() requires this _exact_ amount of bytes, or it will fail.
2438 
2439  @result of ZSTD_decompressContinue() is the number of bytes regenerated within 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity).
2440     It can be zero : it just means ZSTD_decompressContinue() has decoded some metadata item.
2441     It can also be an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError().
2442 
2443     A frame is fully decoded when ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() returns zero.
2444     Context can then be reset to start a new decompression.
2445 
2446     Note : it's possible to know if next input to present is a header or a block, using ZSTD_nextInputType().
2447     This information is not required to properly decode a frame.
2448 
2449     == Special case : skippable frames ==
2450 
2451     Skippable frames allow integration of user-defined data into a flow of concatenated frames.
2452     Skippable frames will be ignored (skipped) by decompressor.
2453     The format of skippable frames is as follows :
2454     a) Skippable frame ID - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, any value from 0x184D2A50 to 0x184D2A5F
2455     b) Frame Size - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, unsigned 32-bits
2456     c) Frame Content - any content (User Data) of length equal to Frame Size
2457     For skippable frames ZSTD_getFrameHeader() returns zfhPtr->frameType==ZSTD_skippableFrame.
2458     For skippable frames ZSTD_decompressContinue() always returns 0 : it only skips the content.

2516 /*!
2517     Block functions produce and decode raw zstd blocks, without frame metadata.
2518     Frame metadata cost is typically ~12 bytes, which can be non-negligible for very small blocks (< 100 bytes).
2519     But users will have to take in charge needed metadata to regenerate data, such as compressed and content sizes.
2520 
2521     A few rules to respect :
2522     - Compressing and decompressing require a context structure
2523       + Use ZSTD_createCCtx() and ZSTD_createDCtx()
2524     - It is necessary to init context before starting
2525       + compression : any ZSTD_compressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
2526       + decompression : any ZSTD_decompressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
2527       + copyCCtx() and copyDCtx() can be used too
2528     - Block size is limited, it must be <= ZSTD_getBlockSize() <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX == 128 KB
2529       + If input is larger than a block size, it's necessary to split input data into multiple blocks
2530       + For inputs larger than a single block, consider using regular ZSTD_compress() instead.
2531         Frame metadata is not that costly, and quickly becomes negligible as source size grows larger than a block.
2532     - When a block is considered not compressible enough, ZSTD_compressBlock() result will be 0 (zero) !
2533       ===> In which case, nothing is produced into `dst` !
2534       + User __must__ test for such outcome and deal directly with uncompressed data
2535       + A block cannot be declared incompressible if ZSTD_compressBlock() return value was != 0.
2536         Doing so would mess up with statistics history, leading to potential data corruption.
2537       + ZSTD_decompressBlock() _doesn't accept uncompressed data as input_ !!
2538       + In case of multiple successive blocks, should some of them be uncompressed,
2539         decoder must be informed of their existence in order to follow proper history.
2540         Use ZSTD_insertBlock() for such a case.
