/*! ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() :
* NOTE: This function is planned to be obsolete, in favour of ZSTD_findDecompressedSize,
* or for single frames, ZSTD_getFrameContentSize. Both of the new functions return more
* descriptive return values, disambiguating empty frames from size unknown or errors.
* Additionally, ZSTD_findDecompressedSize handles multi-frame inputs, returning the total
* size of all frames put together.
* NOTE: This function is planned to be obsolete, in favour of ZSTD_getFrameContentSize.
* ZSTD_getFrameContentSize functions the same way, returning the decompressed size of a single
* frame, but distinguishes empty frames from frames with an unknown size, or errors.
*
* Additionally, ZSTD_findDecompressedSize can be used instead. It can handle multiple
* concatenated frames in one buffer, and so is more general.
* As a result however, it requires more computation and entire frames to be passed to it,
* as opposed to ZSTD_getFrameContentSize which requires only a single frame's header.
*
* 'src' is the start of a zstd compressed frame.
* @return : content size to be decompressed, as a 64-bits value _if known_, 0 otherwise.
