+  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.

+*  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().

+  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.

+    - Block size is limited, it must be <= ZSTD_getBlockSize() <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX == 128 KB
+      + If input is larger than a block size, it's necessary to split input data into multiple blocks
+      + For inputs larger than a single block size, consider using the regular ZSTD_compress() instead.
