40   Introduction
41 
42   zstd, short for Zstandard, is a fast lossless compression algorithm, targeting
43   real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.
44   The zstd compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression
45   functions.
46 
47   The library supports regular compression levels from 1 up to ZSTD_maxCLevel(),
48   which is currently 22. Levels >= 20, labeled `--ultra`, should be used with
49   caution, as they require more memory. The library also offers negative
50   compression levels, which extend the range of speed vs. ratio preferences.
51   The lower the level, the faster the speed (at the cost of compression).
52 
53   Compression can be done in:
54     - a single step (described as Simple API)
55     - a single step, reusing a context (described as Explicit context)
56     - unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
57 
58   The compression ratio achievable on small data can be highly improved using
59   a dictionary. Dictionary compression can be performed in:
60     - a single step (described as Simple dictionary API)
61     - a single step, reusing a dictionary (described as Bulk-processing
62       dictionary API)
63 
64   Advanced experimental functions can be accessed using
65   `#define ZSTD_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY` before including zstd.h.
66 
67   Advanced experimental APIs should never be used with a dynamically-linked
68   library. They are not "stable"; their definitions or signatures may change in
69   the future. Only static linking is allowed.

585 *  ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.
586 *  It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
587 *
588 *  For parallel execution, use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread.
589 *
590 *  note : since v1.3.0, ZSTD_CStream and ZSTD_CCtx are the same thing.
591 *
592 *  Parameters are sticky : when starting a new compression on the same context,
593 *  it will re-use the same sticky parameters as previous compression session.
594 *  When in doubt, it's recommended to fully initialize the context before usage.
595 *  Use ZSTD_CCtx_reset() to reset the context and ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(),
596 *  ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize(), or ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() and friends to
597 *  set more specific parameters, the pledged source size, or load a dictionary.
598 *
599 *  Use ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_continue as many times as necessary to
600 *  consume input stream. The function will automatically update both `pos`
601 *  fields within `input` and `output`.
602 *  Note that the function may not consume the entire input, for example, because
603 *  the output buffer is already full, in which case `input.pos < input.size`.
604 *  The caller must check if input has been entirely consumed.
605 *  If not, the caller must make some room to receive more compressed data,
606 *  and then present again remaining input data.
607 *  note: ZSTD_e_continue is guaranteed to make some forward progress when called,
608 *        but doesn't guarantee maximal forward progress. This is especially relevant
609 *        when compressing with multiple threads. The call won't block if it can
610 *        consume some input, but if it can't it will wait for some, but not all,
611 *        output to be flushed.
612 * @return : provides a minimum amount of data remaining to be flushed from internal buffers
613 *           or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
614 *
615 *  At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data might remain stuck within internal buffer,
616 *  using ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush. `output->pos` will be updated.
617 *  Note that, if `output->size` is too small, a single invocation with ZSTD_e_flush might not be enough (return code > 0).
618 *  In which case, make some room to receive more compressed data, and call again ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
619 *  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush until it returns 0, at which point you can change the
620 *  operation.
621 *  note: ZSTD_e_flush will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
622 *        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
623 *  @return : 0 if internal buffers are entirely flushed,
624 *            >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
625 *            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
626 *
627 *  Calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end instructs to finish a frame.
628 *  It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
629 *  The epilogue is required for decoders to consider a frame completed.
630 *  flush operation is the same, and follows same rules as calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
631 *  You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end until it returns 0, at which point you are free to
632 *  start a new frame.
633 *  note: ZSTD_e_end will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
634 *        block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
635 *  @return : 0 if frame fully completed and fully flushed,
636 *            >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
637 *            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

739 *  ZSTD_DStream objects can be re-used multiple times.
740 *
741 *  Use ZSTD_initDStream() to start a new decompression operation.

743 *  Alternatively, use advanced API to set specific properties.
744 *
745 *  Use ZSTD_decompressStream() repetitively to consume your input.
746 *  The function will update both `pos` fields.
747 *  If `input.pos < input.size`, some input has not been consumed.
748 *  It's up to the caller to present again remaining data.
749 *  The function tries to flush all data decoded immediately, respecting output buffer size.
750 *  If `output.pos < output.size`, decoder has flushed everything it could.
751 *  But if `output.pos == output.size`, there might be some data left within internal buffers.,
752 *  In which case, call ZSTD_decompressStream() again to flush whatever remains in the buffer.
753 *  Note : with no additional input provided, amount of data flushed is necessarily <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX.
754 * @return : 0 when a frame is completely decoded and fully flushed,
755 *        or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError(),
756 *        or any other value > 0, which means there is still some decoding or flushing to do to complete current frame :

1166      *
1167      * - The contents of the CDict can be copied into the working context. This

1169      *   while operating on a single set of internal tables. This makes
1170      *   the compression faster per-byte of input. However, the initial copy of
1171      *   the CDict's tables incurs a fixed cost at the beginning of the
1172      *   compression. For small compressions (< 8 KB), that copy can dominate
1173      *   the cost of the compression.
1174      *
1175      * - The CDict's tables can be used in-place. In this model, compression is
1176      *   slower per input byte, because the compressor has to search two sets of
1177      *   tables. However, this model incurs no start-up cost (as long as the
1178      *   working context's tables can be reused). For small inputs, this can be
1179      *   faster than copying the CDict's tables.
1180      *
1181      * - The CDict's tables are not used at all, and instead we use the working
1182      *   context alone to reload the dictionary and use params based on the source
1183      *   size. See ZSTD_compress_insertDictionary() and ZSTD_compress_usingDict().
1184      *   This method is effective when the dictionary sizes are very small relative
1185      *   to the input size, and the input size is fairly large to begin with.
1186      *

1188      * at the beginning of a compression. However, if experimentation shows that

1894   Buffer-less streaming compression (synchronous mode)
1895 
1896   A ZSTD_CCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
1897   Use ZSTD_createCCtx() / ZSTD_freeCCtx() to manage resource.
1898   ZSTD_CCtx object can be re-used multiple times within successive compression operations.
1899 
1900   Start by initializing a context.
1901   Use ZSTD_compressBegin(), or ZSTD_compressBegin_usingDict() for dictionary compression,
1902   or ZSTD_compressBegin_advanced(), for finer parameter control.
1903   It's also possible to duplicate a reference context which has already been initialized, using ZSTD_copyCCtx()
1904 
1905   Then, consume your input using ZSTD_compressContinue().
1906   There are some important considerations to keep in mind when using this advanced function :
1907   - ZSTD_compressContinue() has no internal buffer. It uses externally provided buffers only.
1908   - Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produces 1+ compressed blocks.
1909   - Caller must ensure there is enough space in `dst` to store compressed data under worst case scenario.
1910     Worst case evaluation is provided by ZSTD_compressBound().
1911     ZSTD_compressContinue() doesn't guarantee recover after a failed compression.
1912   - ZSTD_compressContinue() presumes prior input ***is still accessible and unmodified*** (up to maximum distance size, see WindowLog).
1913     It remembers all previous contiguous blocks, plus one separated memory segment (which can itself consists of multiple contiguous blocks)
1914   - ZSTD_compressContinue() detects that prior input has been overwritten when `src` buffer overlaps.
1915     In which case, it will "discard" the relevant memory section from its history.
1916 
1917   Finish a frame with ZSTD_compressEnd(), which will write the last block(s) and optional checksum.
1918   It's possible to use srcSize==0, in which case, it will write a final empty block to end the frame.
1919   Without last block mark, frames are considered unfinished (hence corrupted) by compliant decoders.
1920 
1921   `ZSTD_CCtx` object can be re-used (ZSTD_compressBegin()) to compress again.

1937   Buffer-less streaming decompression (synchronous mode)
1938 
1939   A ZSTD_DCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
1940   Use ZSTD_createDCtx() / ZSTD_freeDCtx() to manage it.
1941   A ZSTD_DCtx object can be re-used multiple times.
1942 
1943   First typical operation is to retrieve frame parameters, using ZSTD_getFrameHeader().
1944   Frame header is extracted from the beginning of compressed frame, so providing only the frame's beginning is enough.
1945   Data fragment must be large enough to ensure successful decoding.
1946  `ZSTD_frameHeaderSize_max` bytes is guaranteed to always be large enough.
1947   @result : 0 : successful decoding, the `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure is correctly filled.
1948            >0 : `srcSize` is too small, please provide at least @result bytes on next attempt.
1949            errorCode, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
1950 
1951   It fills a ZSTD_frameHeader structure with important information to correctly decode the frame,
1952   such as the dictionary ID, content size, or maximum back-reference distance (`windowSize`).
1953   Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data corruption, or because a 3rd party deliberately spoofs false information.
1954   As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range.
1955   For example, do not allocate memory blindly, check that `windowSize` is within expectation.
1956   Each application can set its own limits, depending on local restrictions.
1957   For extended interoperability, it is recommended to support `windowSize` of at least 8 MB.
1958 
1959   ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize` bytes.
1960   ZSTD_decompressContinue() is very sensitive to contiguity,
1961   if 2 blocks don't follow each other, make sure that either the compressor breaks contiguity at the same place,
1962   or that previous contiguous segment is large enough to properly handle maximum back-reference distance.
1963   There are multiple ways to guarantee this condition.
1964 
1965   The most memory efficient way is to use a round buffer of sufficient size.
1966   Sufficient size is determined by invoking ZSTD_decodingBufferSize_min(),
1967   which can @return an error code if required value is too large for current system (in 32-bits mode).
1968   In a round buffer methodology, ZSTD_decompressContinue() decompresses each block next to previous one,
1969   up to the moment there is not enough room left in the buffer to guarantee decoding another full block,
1970   which maximum size is provided in `ZSTD_frameHeader` structure, field `blockSizeMax`.
1971   At which point, decoding can resume from the beginning of the buffer.
1972   Note that already decoded data stored in the buffer should be flushed before being overwritten.
1973 
1974   There are alternatives possible, for example using two or more buffers of size `windowSize` each, though they consume more memory.
1975 
1976   Finally, if you control the compression process, you can also ignore all buffer size rules,
1977   as long as the encoder and decoder progress in "lock-step",
1978   aka use exactly the same buffer sizes, break contiguity at the same place, etc.
1979 
1980   Once buffers are setup, start decompression, with ZSTD_decompressBegin().
1981   If decompression requires a dictionary, use ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict() or ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDDict().
1982 
1983   Then use ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() and ZSTD_decompressContinue() alternatively.
1984   ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() tells how many bytes to provide as 'srcSize' to ZSTD_decompressContinue().
1985   ZSTD_decompressContinue() requires this _exact_ amount of bytes, or it will fail.
1986 
1987  @result of ZSTD_decompressContinue() is the number of bytes regenerated within 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity).
1988   It can be zero : it just means ZSTD_decompressContinue() has decoded some metadata item.
1989   It can also be an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError().
1990 
1991   A frame is fully decoded when ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() returns zero.
1992   Context can then be reset to start a new decompression.
1993 
1994   Note : it's possible to know if next input to present is a header or a block, using ZSTD_nextInputType().
1995   This information is not required to properly decode a frame.
1996 
1997   == Special case : skippable frames ==
1998 
1999   Skippable frames allow integration of user-defined data into a flow of concatenated frames.
2000   Skippable frames will be ignored (skipped) by decompressor.
2001   The format of skippable frames is as follows :
2002   a) Skippable frame ID - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, any value from 0x184D2A50 to 0x184D2A5F
2003   b) Frame Size - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, unsigned 32-bits
2004   c) Frame Content - any content (User Data) of length equal to Frame Size
2005   For skippable frames ZSTD_getFrameHeader() returns zfhPtr->frameType==ZSTD_skippableFrame.
2006   For skippable frames ZSTD_decompressContinue() always returns 0 : it only skips the content.

2051 
2052 /*!
2053     Block functions produce and decode raw zstd blocks, without frame metadata.
2054     Frame metadata cost is typically ~12 bytes, which can be non-negligible for very small blocks (< 100 bytes).
2055     But users will have to take in charge needed metadata to regenerate data, such as compressed and content sizes.
2056 
2057     A few rules to respect :
2058     - Compressing and decompressing require a context structure
2059       + Use ZSTD_createCCtx() and ZSTD_createDCtx()
2060     - It is necessary to init context before starting
2061       + compression : any ZSTD_compressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
2062       + decompression : any ZSTD_decompressBegin*() variant, including with dictionary
2063       + copyCCtx() and copyDCtx() can be used too
2064     - Block size is limited, it must be <= ZSTD_getBlockSize() <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX == 128 KB
2065       + If input is larger than a block size, it's necessary to split input data into multiple blocks
2066       + For inputs larger than a single block, consider using regular ZSTD_compress() instead.
2067         Frame metadata is not that costly, and quickly becomes negligible as source size grows larger than a block.
2068     - When a block is considered not compressible enough, ZSTD_compressBlock() result will be 0 (zero) !
2069       ===> In which case, nothing is produced into `dst` !
2070       + User __must__ test for such outcome and deal directly with uncompressed data
2071       + A block cannot be declared incompressible if ZSTD_compressBlock() return value was != 0.
2072         Doing so would mess up with statistics history, leading to potential data corruption.
2073       + ZSTD_decompressBlock() _doesn't accept uncompressed data as input_ !!
2074       + In case of multiple successive blocks, should some of them be uncompressed,
2075         decoder must be informed of their existence in order to follow proper history.
2076         Use ZSTD_insertBlock() for such a case.
