1 /** 2 * \file lzma/vli.h 3 * \brief Variable-length integer handling 4 * 5 * In the .xz format, most integers are encoded in a variable-length 6 * representation, which is sometimes called little endian base-128 encoding. 7 * This saves space when smaller values are more likely than bigger values. 8 * 9 * The encoding scheme encodes seven bits to every byte, using minimum 10 * number of bytes required to represent the given value. Encodings that use 11 * non-minimum number of bytes are invalid, thus every integer has exactly 12 * one encoded representation. The maximum number of bits in a VLI is 63, 13 * thus the vli argument must be less than or equal to UINT64_MAX / 2. You 14 * should use LZMA_VLI_MAX for clarity. 15 */ 16 17 /* 18 * Author: Lasse Collin 19 * 20 * This file has been put into the public domain. 21 * You can do whatever you want with this file. 22 * 23 * See ../lzma.h for information about liblzma as a whole. 24 */ 25 26 #ifndef LZMA_H_INTERNAL 27 # error Never include this file directly.
