/// <summary>Simple API//*! ZSTD_compress() : Compresses `src` content as a single zstd compressed frame into already allocated `dst`. Hint : compression runs faster if `dstCapacity` >= `ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize)`. @return : compressed size written into `dst` (<= `dstCapacity), or an error code if it fails (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_decompress() : `compressedSize` : must be the _exact_ size of some number of compressed and/or skippable frames. `dstCapacity` is an upper bound of originalSize to regenerate. If user cannot imply a maximum upper bound, it's better to use streaming mode to decompress data. @return : the number of bytes decompressed into `dst` (<= `dstCapacity`), or an errorCode if it fails (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() : NOTE: This function is now obsolete, in favor of ZSTD_getFrameContentSize(). Both functions work the same way, but ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() blends \"empty\", \"unknown\" and \"error\" results to the same return value (0), while ZSTD_getFrameContentSize() gives them separate return values. @return : decompressed size of `src` frame content _if known and not empty_, 0 otherwise.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_findFrameCompressedSize() : Requires v1.4.0+ `src` should point to the start of a ZSTD frame or skippable frame. `srcSize` must be >= first frame size @return : the compressed size of the first frame starting at `src`, suitable to pass as `srcSize` to `ZSTD_decompress` or similar, or an error code if input is invalid</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_compressCCtx() : Same as ZSTD_compress(), using an explicit ZSTD_CCtx. Important : in order to behave similarly to `ZSTD_compress()`, this function compresses at requested compression level, __ignoring any other parameter__ . If any advanced parameter was set using the advanced API, they will all be reset. Only `compressionLevel` remains.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_cParam_getBounds() : All parameters must belong to an interval with lower and upper bounds, otherwise they will either trigger an error or be automatically clamped. @return : a structure, ZSTD_bounds, which contains - an error status field, which must be tested using ZSTD_isError() - lower and upper bounds, both inclusive</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter() : Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_cParameter. All parameters have valid bounds. Bounds can be queried using ZSTD_cParam_getBounds(). Providing a value beyond bound will either clamp it, or trigger an error (depending on parameter). Setting a parameter is generally only possible during frame initialization (before starting compression). Exception : when using multi-threading mode (nbWorkers >= 1), the following parameters can be updated _during_ compression (within same frame): => compressionLevel, hashLog, chainLog, searchLog, minMatch, targetLength and strategy. new parameters will be active for next job only (after a flush()). @return : an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize() : Total input data size to be compressed as a single frame. Value will be written in frame header, unless if explicitly forbidden using ZSTD_c_contentSizeFlag. This value will also be controlled at end of frame, and trigger an error if not respected. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Note 1 : pledgedSrcSize==0 actually means zero, aka an empty frame. In order to mean \"unknown content size\", pass constant ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN. ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN is default value for any new frame. Note 2 : pledgedSrcSize is only valid once, for the next frame. It's discarded at the end of the frame, and replaced by ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN. Note 3 : Whenever all input data is provided and consumed in a single round, for example with ZSTD_compress2(), or invoking immediately ZSTD_compressStream2(,,,ZSTD_e_end), this value is automatically overridden by srcSize instead.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_reset() : There are 2 different things that can be reset, independently or jointly : - The session : will stop compressing current frame, and make CCtx ready to start a new one. Useful after an error, or to interrupt any ongoing compression. Any internal data not yet flushed is cancelled. Compression parameters and dictionary remain unchanged. They will be used to compress next frame. Resetting session never fails. - The parameters : changes all parameters back to \"default\". This also removes any reference to any dictionary or external sequence producer. Parameters can only be changed between 2 sessions (i.e. no compression is currently ongoing) otherwise the reset fails, and function returns an error value (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()) - Both : similar to resetting the session, followed by resetting parameters.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_compress2() : Behave the same as ZSTD_compressCCtx(), but compression parameters are set using the advanced API. ZSTD_compress2() always starts a new frame. Should cctx hold data from a previously unfinished frame, everything about it is forgotten. - Compression parameters are pushed into CCtx before starting compression, using ZSTD_CCtx_set*() - The function is always blocking, returns when compression is completed. Hint : compression runs faster if `dstCapacity` >= `ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize)`. @return : compressed size written into `dst` (<= `dstCapacity), or an error code if it fails (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_dParam_getBounds() : All parameters must belong to an interval with lower and upper bounds, otherwise they will either trigger an error or be automatically clamped. @return : a structure, ZSTD_bounds, which contains - an error status field, which must be tested using ZSTD_isError() - both lower and upper bounds, inclusive</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_DCtx_setParameter() : Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_dParameter. All parameters have valid bounds. Bounds can be queried using ZSTD_dParam_getBounds(). Providing a value beyond bound will either clamp it, or trigger an error (depending on parameter). Setting a parameter is only possible during frame initialization (before starting decompression). @return : 0, or an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_DCtx_reset() : Return a DCtx to clean state. Session and parameters can be reset jointly or separately. Parameters can only be reset when no active frame is being decompressed. @return : 0, or an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_compressStream2() : Requires v1.4.0+ Behaves about the same as ZSTD_compressStream, with additional control on end directive. - Compression parameters are pushed into CCtx before starting compression, using ZSTD_CCtx_set*() - Compression parameters cannot be changed once compression is started (save a list of exceptions in multi-threading mode) - output->pos must be <= dstCapacity, input->pos must be <= srcSize - output->pos and input->pos will be updated. They are guaranteed to remain below their respective limit. - endOp must be a valid directive - When nbWorkers==0 (default), function is blocking : it completes its job before returning to caller. - When nbWorkers>=1, function is non-blocking : it copies a portion of input, distributes jobs to internal worker threads, flush to output whatever is available, and then immediately returns, just indicating that there is some data remaining to be flushed. The function nonetheless guarantees forward progress : it will return only after it reads or write at least 1+ byte. - Exception : if the first call requests a ZSTD_e_end directive and provides enough dstCapacity, the function delegates to ZSTD_compress2() which is always blocking. - @return provides a minimum amount of data remaining to be flushed from internal buffers or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError(). if @return != 0, flush is not fully completed, there is still some data left within internal buffers. This is useful for ZSTD_e_flush, since in this case more flushes are necessary to empty all buffers. For ZSTD_e_end, @return == 0 when internal buffers are fully flushed and frame is completed. - after a ZSTD_e_end directive, if internal buffer is not fully flushed (@return != 0), only ZSTD_e_end or ZSTD_e_flush operations are allowed. Before starting a new compression job, or changing compression parameters, it is required to fully flush internal buffers.</summary>
/// <summary>Equivalent to: ZSTD_CCtx_reset(zcs, ZSTD_reset_session_only); ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict(zcs, NULL); // clear the dictionary (if any) ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(zcs, ZSTD_c_compressionLevel, compressionLevel); Note that ZSTD_initCStream() clears any previously set dictionary. Use the new API to compress with a dictionary.</summary>
/// <summary>Alternative for ZSTD_compressStream2(zcs, output, input, ZSTD_e_continue). NOTE: The return value is different. ZSTD_compressStream() returns a hint for the next read size (if non-zero and not an error). ZSTD_compressStream2() returns the minimum nb of bytes left to flush (if non-zero and not an error).</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_initDStream() : Initialize/reset DStream state for new decompression operation. Call before new decompression operation using same DStream. Note : This function is redundant with the advanced API and equivalent to: ZSTD_DCtx_reset(zds, ZSTD_reset_session_only); ZSTD_DCtx_refDDict(zds, NULL);</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_decompressStream() : Streaming decompression function. Call repetitively to consume full input updating it as necessary. Function will update both input and output `pos` fields exposing current state via these fields: - `input.pos < input.size`, some input remaining and caller should provide remaining input on the next call. - `output.pos < output.size`, decoder finished and flushed all remaining buffers. - `output.pos == output.size`, potentially uncflushed data present in the internal buffers, call ZSTD_decompressStream() again to flush remaining data to output. Note : with no additional input, amount of data flushed <= ZSTD_BLOCKSIZE_MAX. @return : 0 when a frame is completely decoded and fully flushed, or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError(), or any other value > 0, which means there is some decoding or flushing to do to complete current frame.</summary>
/// <summary>Simple dictionary API//*! ZSTD_compress_usingDict() : Compression at an explicit compression level using a Dictionary. A dictionary can be any arbitrary data segment (also called a prefix), or a buffer with specified information (see zdict.h). Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. It's intended for a dictionary used only once. Note 2 : When `dict == NULL || dictSize < 8` no dictionary is used.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_decompress_usingDict() : Decompression using a known Dictionary. Dictionary must be identical to the one used during compression. Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. It's intended for a dictionary used only once. Note : When `dict == NULL || dictSize < 8` no dictionary is used.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_createCDict() : When compressing multiple messages or blocks using the same dictionary, it's recommended to digest the dictionary only once, since it's a costly operation. ZSTD_createCDict() will create a state from digesting a dictionary. The resulting state can be used for future compression operations with very limited startup cost. ZSTD_CDict can be created once and shared by multiple threads concurrently, since its usage is read-only. @dictBuffer can be released after ZSTD_CDict creation, because its content is copied within CDict. Note 1 : Consider experimental function `ZSTD_createCDict_byReference()` if you prefer to not duplicate @dictBuffer content. Note 2 : A ZSTD_CDict can be created from an empty @dictBuffer, in which case the only thing that it transports is the @compressionLevel. This can be useful in a pipeline featuring ZSTD_compress_usingCDict() exclusively, expecting a ZSTD_CDict parameter with any data, including those without a known dictionary.</summary>

/// <summary>ZSTD_getDictID_fromFrame() : Requires v1.4.0+ Provides the dictID required to decompressed the frame stored within `src`. If @return == 0, the dictID could not be decoded. This could for one of the following reasons : - The frame does not require a dictionary to be decoded (most common case). - The frame was built with dictID intentionally removed. Whatever dictionary is necessary is a hidden piece of information. Note : this use case also happens when using a non-conformant dictionary. - `srcSize` is too small, and as a result, the frame header could not be decoded (only possible if `srcSize < ZSTD_FRAMEHEADERSIZE_MAX`). - This is not a Zstandard frame. When identifying the exact failure cause, it's possible to use ZSTD_getFrameHeader(), which will provide a more precise error code.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() : Requires v1.4.0+ Create an internal CDict from `dict` buffer. Decompression will have to use same dictionary. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special: Loading a NULL (or 0-size) dictionary invalidates previous dictionary, meaning \"return to no-dictionary mode\". Note 1 : Dictionary is sticky, it will be used for all future compressed frames, until parameters are reset, a new dictionary is loaded, or the dictionary is explicitly invalidated by loading a NULL dictionary. Note 2 : Loading a dictionary involves building tables. It's also a CPU consuming operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. Tables are dependent on compression parameters, and for this reason, compression parameters can no longer be changed after loading a dictionary. Note 3 :`dict` content will be copied internally. Use experimental ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_byReference() to reference content instead. In such a case, dictionary buffer must outlive its users. Note 4 : Use ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_advanced() to precisely select how dictionary content must be interpreted.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict() : Requires v1.4.0+ Reference a prepared dictionary, to be used for all future compressed frames. Note that compression parameters are enforced from within CDict, and supersede any compression parameter previously set within CCtx. The parameters ignored are labelled as \"superseded-by-cdict\" in the ZSTD_cParameter enum docs. The ignored parameters will be used again if the CCtx is returned to no-dictionary mode. The dictionary will remain valid for future compressed frames using same CCtx. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Referencing a NULL CDict means \"return to no-dictionary mode\". Note 1 : Currently, only one dictionary can be managed. Referencing a new dictionary effectively \"discards\" any previous one. Note 2 : CDict is just referenced, its lifetime must outlive its usage within CCtx.</summary>
/// <summary>ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix() : Requires v1.4.0+ Reference a prefix (single-usage dictionary) for next compressed frame. A prefix is **only used once**. Tables are discarded at end of frame (ZSTD_e_end). Decompression will need same prefix to properly regenerate data. Compressing with a prefix is similar in outcome as performing a diff and compressing it, but performs much faster, especially during decompression (compression speed is tunable with compression level). @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special: Adding any prefix (including NULL) invalidates any previous prefix or dictionary Note 1 : Prefix buffer is referenced. It **must** outlive compression. Its content must remain unmodified during compression. Note 2 : If the intention is to diff some large src data blob with some prior version of itself, ensure that the window size is large enough to contain the entire source. See ZSTD_c_windowLog. Note 3 : Referencing a prefix involves building tables, which are dependent on compression parameters. It's a CPU consuming operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. If there is a need to use the same prefix multiple times, consider loadDictionary instead. Note 4 : By default, the prefix is interpreted as raw content (ZSTD_dct_rawContent). Use experimental ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced() to alter dictionary interpretation.</summary>

The dictionary remains valid for all future frames, until explicitly invalidated, or a new dictionary is loaded. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Adding a NULL (or 0-size) dictionary invalidates any previous dictionary, meaning \"return to no-dictionary mode\".

The dictionary remains active for decompression of future frames using same DCtx. If called with ZSTD_d_refMultipleDDicts enabled, repeated calls of this function will store the DDict references in a table, and the DDict used for decompression will be determined at decompression time, as per the dict ID in the frame. The memory for the table is allocated on the first call to refDDict, and can be freed with ZSTD_freeDCtx(). If called with ZSTD_d_refMultipleDDicts disabled (the default), only one dictionary will be managed, and referencing a dictionary effectively \"discards\" any previous one. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()).

This is the reverse operation of ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix(), and must use the same prefix as the one used during compression. Prefix is **only used once**. Reference is discarded at end of frame. End of frame is reached when ZSTD_decompressStream() returns 0. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()).
