zstd - library files
The lib directory contains several files, but depending on target use case, some of them may not be necessary.
Minimal library files
To build the zstd library the following files are required:
- common/bitstream.h
- common/error_private.h
- common/error_public.h
- common/fse.h
- common/fse_decompress.c
- common/huf.h
- common/mem.h
- common/zstd.h
- common/zstd_internal.h
- compress/fse_compress.c
- compress/huf_compress.c
- compress/zstd_compress.c
- compress/zstd_opt.h
- decompress/huf_decompress.c
- decompress/zstd_decompress.c
Stable API is exposed in common/zstd.h.
Advanced and experimental API can be enabled by defining ZSTD_STATIC_LINKING_ONLY.
Never use them with a dynamic library, as their definition may change in future versions.
Separate compressor and decompressor
To build a separate zstd compressor all files from common/ and compressor/ directories are required.
In a similar way to build a separate zstd decompressor all files from common/ and decompressor/ directories are needed.
Buffered streaming
This complementary API makes streaming integration easier.
It is used by zstd command line utility, and 7zip plugin :
- common/zbuff.h
- compress/zbuff_compress.c
- decompress/zbuff_decompress.c
Dictionary builder
To create dictionaries from training sets :
- dictBuilder/divsufsort.c
- dictBuilder/divsufsort.h
- dictBuilder/zdict.c
- dictBuilder/zdict.h
Miscellaneous
The other files are not source code. There are :
- LICENSE : contains the BSD license text
- Makefile : script to compile or install zstd library (static or dynamic)
- libzstd.pc.in : for pkg-config (make install)
