Tutorial :
----------
The first step is to count all symbols. FSE_count() does this job very fast.
Result will be saved into 'count', a table of unsigned int, which must be already allocated, and have 'maxSymbolValuePtr[0]+1' cells.
'src' is a table of bytes of size 'srcSize'. All values within 'src' MUST be <= maxSymbolValuePtr[0]
maxSymbolValuePtr[0] will be updated, with its real value (necessarily <= original value)
FSE_count() will return the number of occurrence of the most frequent symbol.
This can be used to know if there is a single symbol within 'src', and to quickly evaluate its compressibility.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

The next step is to normalize the frequencies.
FSE_normalizeCount() will ensure that sum of frequencies is == 2 ^'tableLog'.
It also guarantees a minimum of 1 to any Symbol with frequency >= 1.
You can use 'tableLog'==0 to mean "use default tableLog value".
If you are unsure of which tableLog value to use, you can ask FSE_optimalTableLog(),
which will provide the optimal valid tableLog given sourceSize, maxSymbolValue, and a user-defined maximum (0 means "default").

The result of FSE_normalizeCount() will be saved into a table,
called 'normalizedCounter', which is a table of signed short.
'normalizedCounter' must be already allocated, and have at least 'maxSymbolValue+1' cells.
The return value is tableLog if everything proceeded as expected.
It is 0 if there is a single symbol within distribution.
If there is an error (ex: invalid tableLog value), the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

'normalizedCounter' can be saved in a compact manner to a memory area using FSE_writeNCount().
'buffer' must be already allocated.
For guaranteed success, buffer size must be at least FSE_headerBound().
The result of the function is the number of bytes written into 'buffer'.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError(); ex : buffer size too small).

'normalizedCounter' can then be used to create the compression table 'CTable'.
The space required by 'CTable' must be already allocated, using FSE_createCTable().
You can then use FSE_buildCTable() to fill 'CTable'.
If there is an error, both functions will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

'CTable' can then be used to compress 'src', with FSE_compress_usingCTable().
Similar to FSE_count(), the convention is that 'src' is assumed to be a table of char of size 'srcSize'
The function returns the size of compressed data (without header), necessarily <= `dstCapacity`.
If it returns '0', compressed data could not fit into 'dst'.
If there is an error, the function will return an ErrorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).

Tutorial :
----------
(Note : these functions only decompress FSE-compressed blocks.
 If block is uncompressed, use memcpy() instead
 If block is a single repeated byte, use memset() instead )

The first step is to obtain the normalized frequencies of symbols.
This can be performed by FSE_readNCount() if it was saved using FSE_writeNCount().
'normalizedCounter' must be already allocated, and have at least 'maxSymbolValuePtr[0]+1' cells of signed short.
In practice, that means it's necessary to know 'maxSymbolValue' beforehand,
or size the table to handle worst case situations (typically 256).
FSE_readNCount() will provide 'tableLog' and 'maxSymbolValue'.
The result of FSE_readNCount() is the number of bytes read from 'rBuffer'.
Note that 'rBufferSize' must be at least 4 bytes, even if useful information is less than that.
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError().

The next step is to build the decompression tables 'FSE_DTable' from 'normalizedCounter'.
This is performed by the function FSE_buildDTable().
The space required by 'FSE_DTable' must be already allocated using FSE_createDTable().
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError().

`FSE_DTable` can then be used to decompress `cSrc`, with FSE_decompress_usingDTable().
`cSrcSize` must be strictly correct, otherwise decompression will fail.
FSE_decompress_usingDTable() result will tell how many bytes were regenerated (<=`dstCapacity`).
If there is an error, the function will return an error code, which can be tested using FSE_isError(). (ex: dst buffer too small)

These functions are inner components of FSE_compress_usingCTable().
They allow the creation of custom streams, mixing multiple tables and bit sources.

A key property to keep in mind is that encoding and decoding are done **in reverse direction**.
So the first symbol you will encode is the last you will decode, like a LIFO stack.

You will need a few variables to track your CStream. They are :

FSE_CTable    ct;         // Provided by FSE_buildCTable()
BIT_CStream_t bitStream;  // bitStream tracking structure
FSE_CState_t  state;      // State tracking structure (can have several)


The first thing to do is to init bitStream and state.
    size_t errorCode = BIT_initCStream(&bitStream, dstBuffer, maxDstSize);
    FSE_initCState(&state, ct);

Note that BIT_initCStream() can produce an error code, so its result should be tested, using FSE_isError();
You can then encode your input data, byte after byte.
FSE_encodeSymbol() outputs a maximum of 'tableLog' bits at a time.
Remember decoding will be done in reverse direction.
    FSE_encodeByte(&bitStream, &state, symbol);

At any time, you can also add any bit sequence.
Note : maximum allowed nbBits is 25, for compatibility with 32-bits decoders
    BIT_addBits(&bitStream, bitField, nbBits);

The above methods don't commit data to memory, they just store it into local register, for speed.
Local register size is 64-bits on 64-bits systems, 32-bits on 32-bits systems (size_t).
Writing data to memory is a manual operation, performed by the flushBits function.
    BIT_flushBits(&bitStream);

Your last FSE encoding operation shall be to flush your last state value(s).
    FSE_flushState(&bitStream, &state);

Finally, you must close the bitStream.
The function returns the size of CStream in bytes.
If data couldn't fit into dstBuffer, it will return a 0 ( == not compressible)
If there is an error, it returns an errorCode (which can be tested using FSE_isError()).
    size_t size = BIT_closeCStream(&bitStream);

Let's now decompose FSE_decompress_usingDTable() into its unitary components.
You will decode FSE-encoded symbols from the bitStream,

You will need a few variables to track your bitStream. They are :

BIT_DStream_t DStream;    // Stream context
FSE_DState_t  DState;     // State context. Multiple ones are possible
FSE_DTable*   DTablePtr;  // Decoding table, provided by FSE_buildDTable()

The first thing to do is to init the bitStream.
    errorCode = BIT_initDStream(&DStream, srcBuffer, srcSize);

You should then retrieve your initial state(s)
(in reverse flushing order if you have several ones) :
    errorCode = FSE_initDState(&DState, &DStream, DTablePtr);

You can then decode your data, symbol after symbol.
For information the maximum number of bits read by FSE_decodeSymbol() is 'tableLog'.
Keep in mind that symbols are decoded in reverse order, like a LIFO stack (last in, first out).
    unsigned char symbol = FSE_decodeSymbol(&DState, &DStream);

You can retrieve any bitfield you eventually stored into the bitStream (in reverse order)
Note : maximum allowed nbBits is 25, for 32-bits compatibility
    size_t bitField = BIT_readBits(&DStream, nbBits);

All above operations only read from local register (which size depends on size_t).
Refueling the register from memory is manually performed by the reload method.
    endSignal = FSE_reloadDStream(&DStream);

BIT_reloadDStream() result tells if there is still some more data to read from DStream.
BIT_DStream_unfinished : there is still some data left into the DStream.
BIT_DStream_endOfBuffer : Dstream reached end of buffer. Its container may no longer be completely filled.
BIT_DStream_completed : Dstream reached its exact end, corresponding in general to decompression completed.
BIT_DStream_tooFar : Dstream went too far. Decompression result is corrupted.

When reaching end of buffer (BIT_DStream_endOfBuffer), progress slowly, notably if you decode multiple symbols per loop,
to properly detect the exact end of stream.
After each decoded symbol, check if DStream is fully consumed using this simple test :
    BIT_reloadDStream(&DStream) >= BIT_DStream_completed

When it's done, verify decompression is fully completed, by checking both DStream and the relevant states.
Checking if DStream has reached its end is performed by :
    BIT_endOfDStream(&DStream);
Check also the states. There might be some symbols left there, if some high probability ones (>50%) are possible.
