+// Package lz4 implements reading and writing lz4 compressed data (a frame),
+// as specified in http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2013/04/lz4-streaming-format-final.html.
+//
+// Although the block level compression and decompression functions are exposed and are fully compatible
+// with the lz4 block format definition, they are low level and should not be used directly.
+// For a complete description of an lz4 compressed block, see:
+// http://fastcompression.blogspot.fr/2011/05/lz4-explained.html
+//
+// See https://github.com/Cyan4973/lz4 for the reference C implementation.
