"""Compress a byte string.
Args:
string (bytes): The input data.
mode (int, optional): The compression mode can be MODE_GENERIC (default),
MODE_TEXT (for UTF-8 format text input) or MODE_FONT (for WOFF 2.0).
quality (int, optional): Controls the compression-speed vs compression-
density tradeoff. The higher the quality, the slower the compression.
Range is 0 to 11. Defaults to 11.
lgwin (int, optional): Base 2 logarithm of the sliding window size. Range
is 10 to 24. Defaults to 22.
lgblock (int, optional): Base 2 logarithm of the maximum input block size.
Range is 16 to 24. If set to 0, the value will be set based on the
quality. Defaults to 0.
dictionary (bytes, optional): Custom dictionary. Only last sliding window
size bytes will be used.
Returns:
The compressed byte string.
Raises:
brotli.error: If arguments are invalid, or compressor fails.
