  A ZSTD_CCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
  Use ZSTD_createCCtx() / ZSTD_freeCCtx() to manage resource.
  ZSTD_CCtx object can be re-used multiple times within successive compression operations.

  Start by initializing a context.
  Use ZSTD_compressBegin(), or ZSTD_compressBegin_usingDict() for dictionary compression,
  or ZSTD_compressBegin_advanced(), for finer parameter control.
  It's also possible to duplicate a reference context which has already been initialized, using ZSTD_copyCCtx()

  Then, consume your input using ZSTD_compressContinue().
  There are some important considerations to keep in mind when using this advanced function :
  - ZSTD_compressContinue() has no internal buffer. It uses externally provided buffer only.
  - Interface is synchronous : input is consumed entirely and produce 1+ (or more) compressed blocks.
  - Caller must ensure there is enough space in `dst` to store compressed data under worst case scenario.
    Worst case evaluation is provided by ZSTD_compressBound().
    ZSTD_compressContinue() doesn't guarantee recover after a failed compression.
  - ZSTD_compressContinue() presumes prior input ***is still accessible and unmodified*** (up to maximum distance size, see WindowLog).
    It remembers all previous contiguous blocks, plus one separated memory segment (which can itself consists of multiple contiguous blocks)
  - ZSTD_compressContinue() detects that prior input has been overwritten when `src` buffer overlaps.
    In which case, it will "discard" the relevant memory section from its history.

  Finish a frame with ZSTD_compressEnd(), which will write the last block(s) and optional checksum.
  It's possible to use a NULL,0 src content, in which case, it will write a final empty block to end the frame,
  Without last block mark, frames will be considered unfinished (broken) by decoders.

  You can then reuse `ZSTD_CCtx` (ZSTD_compressBegin()) to compress some new frame.

  Buffer-less streaming decompression (synchronous mode)

  A ZSTD_DCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
  Use ZSTD_createDCtx() / ZSTD_freeDCtx() to manage it.
  A ZSTD_DCtx object can be re-used multiple times.

  First typical operation is to retrieve frame parameters, using ZSTD_getFrameParams().
  It fills a ZSTD_frameParams structure which provide important information to correctly decode the frame,
  such as the minimum rolling buffer size to allocate to decompress data (`windowSize`),
  and the dictionary ID used.
  (Note : content size is optional, it may not be present. 0 means : content size unknown).
  Note that these values could be wrong, either because of data malformation, or because an attacker is spoofing deliberate false information.
  As a consequence, check that values remain within valid application range, especially `windowSize`, before allocation.
  Each application can set its own limit, depending on local restrictions. For extended interoperability, it is recommended to support at least 8 MB.
  Frame parameters are extracted from the beginning of the compressed frame.
  Data fragment must be large enough to ensure successful decoding, typically `ZSTD_frameHeaderSize_max` bytes.
  @result : 0 : successful decoding, the `ZSTD_frameParams` structure is correctly filled.
           >0 : `srcSize` is too small, please provide at least @result bytes on next attempt.
           errorCode, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

  Start decompression, with ZSTD_decompressBegin() or ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict().
  Alternatively, you can copy a prepared context, using ZSTD_copyDCtx().

  Then use ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() and ZSTD_decompressContinue() alternatively.
  ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() tells how many bytes to provide as 'srcSize' to ZSTD_decompressContinue().
  ZSTD_decompressContinue() requires this _exact_ amount of bytes, or it will fail.

  @result of ZSTD_decompressContinue() is the number of bytes regenerated within 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity).
  It can be zero, which is not an error; it just means ZSTD_decompressContinue() has decoded some metadata item.
  It can also be an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError().

  ZSTD_decompressContinue() needs previous data blocks during decompression, up to `windowSize`.
  They should preferably be located contiguously, prior to current block.
  Alternatively, a round buffer of sufficient size is also possible. Sufficient size is determined by frame parameters.
  ZSTD_decompressContinue() is very sensitive to contiguity,
  if 2 blocks don't follow each other, make sure that either the compressor breaks contiguity at the same place,
  or that previous contiguous segment is large enough to properly handle maximum back-reference.

  A frame is fully decoded when ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress() returns zero.
  Context can then be reset to start a new decompression.

  Note : it's possible to know if next input to present is a header or a block, using ZSTD_nextInputType().
  This information is not required to properly decode a frame.

  == Special case : skippable frames ==

  Skippable frames allow integration of user-defined data into a flow of concatenated frames.
  Skippable frames will be ignored (skipped) by a decompressor. The format of skippable frames is as follows :
  a) Skippable frame ID - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, any value from 0x184D2A50 to 0x184D2A5F
  b) Frame Size - 4 Bytes, Little endian format, unsigned 32-bits
  c) Frame Content - any content (User Data) of length equal to Frame Size
  For skippable frames ZSTD_decompressContinue() always returns 0.
  For skippable frames ZSTD_getFrameParams() returns fparamsPtr->windowLog==0 what means that a frame is skippable.
  It also returns Frame Size as fparamsPtr->frameContentSize.

/* **************************************
*  Block functions
****************************************/
/*! Block functions produce and decode raw zstd blocks, without frame metadata.
    Frame metadata cost is typically ~18 bytes, which can be non-negligible for very small blocks (< 100 bytes).
    User will have to take in charge required information to regenerate data, such as compressed and content sizes.

    A few rules to respect :
    - Compressing and decompressing require a context structure
      + Use ZSTD_createCCtx() and ZSTD_createDCtx()
    - It is necessary to init context before starting
      + compression : ZSTD_compressBegin()
      + decompression : ZSTD_decompressBegin()
      + variants _usingDict() are also allowed
      + copyCCtx() and copyDCtx() work too
    - Block size is limited, it must be <= ZSTD_getBlockSizeMax()
      + If you need to compress more, cut data into multiple blocks
      + Consider using the regular ZSTD_compress() instead, as frame metadata costs become negligible when source size is large.
    - When a block is considered not compressible enough, ZSTD_compressBlock() result will be zero.
      In which case, nothing is produced into `dst`.
      + User must test for such outcome and deal directly with uncompressed data
      + ZSTD_decompressBlock() doesn't accept uncompressed data as input !!!
      + In case of multiple successive blocks, decoder must be informed of uncompressed block existence to follow proper history.
        Use ZSTD_insertBlock() in such a case.
