22  *If len = 0, inbuf can be NULL, in which case the decompressor will allocate
23  *the input buffer.  If inbuf != NULL it must be at least XXX_IOBUF_SIZE bytes.
24  *fill will be called (repeatedly...) to read data, at most XXX_IOBUF_SIZE
25  *bytes should be read per call.  Replace XXX with the appropriate decompressor
26  *name, i.e. LZMA_IOBUF_SIZE.

28  *If flush = NULL, outbuf must be large enough to buffer all the expected
29  *output.  If flush != NULL, the output buffer will be allocated by the
30  *decompressor (outbuf = NULL), and the flush function will be called to
31  *flush the output buffer at the appropriate time (decompressor and stream
32  *dependent).
