A ZSTD_CCtx object is required to track streaming operations.
Use ZSTD_createCCtx() / ZSTD_freeCCtx() to manage resource.

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.
