LZ4 Block Format

As defined in https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/dev/doc/lz4_Block_format.md

Currently for no_std support only the block format is supported.

Example: block format roundtrip

use lz4_flex::block::{compress_prepend_size, decompress_size_prepended};
let input: &[u8] = b"Hello people, what's up?";
let compressed = compress_prepend_size(input);
let uncompressed = decompress_size_prepended(&compressed).unwrap();
assert_eq!(input, uncompressed);

Enums

An error representing invalid compressed data.

Functions

Compress all bytes of input.
Compress all bytes of input into output. The method chooses an appropriate hashtable to lookup duplicates and calls compress_into_with_table. output should be preallocated with a size of get_maximum_output_size.
Compress all bytes of input into output. The method chooses an appropriate hashtable to lookup duplicates and calls compress_into_with_table. output should be preallocated with a size of get_maximum_output_size.
Compress all bytes of input into output. The uncompressed size will be prepended as a little endian u32. Can be used in conjunction with decompress_size_prepended
Compress all bytes of input into output. The uncompressed size will be prepended as a little endian u32. Can be used in conjunction with decompress_size_prepended_with_dict
Compress all bytes of input with an external dictionary.
Decompress all bytes of input into a new vec.
Decompress all bytes of input into output. output should be preallocated with a size of of the uncompressed data.
Decompress all bytes of input into output.
Decompress all bytes of input into a new vec. The first 4 bytes are the uncompressed size in litte endian. Can be used in conjunction with compress_prepend_size
Decompress all bytes of input into a new vec. The first 4 bytes are the uncompressed size in little endian. Can be used in conjunction with compress_prepend_size_with_dict
Decompress all bytes of input into a new vec.
Returns the maximum output size of the compressed data. Can be used to preallocate capacity on the output vector
This can be used in conjunction with decompress_size_prepended. It will read the first 4 bytes as little-endian encoded length, and return the rest of the bytes after the length encoding.
