) -> c_ulonglong
ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() :
* 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.
* note 1 : decompressed size is an optional field, that may not be present, especially in streaming mode.
* When return==0
, data to decompress could be any size.
* In which case, it's necessary to use streaming mode to decompress data.
* Optionally, application can still use ZSTD_decompress() while relying on implied limits.
* (For example, data may be necessarily cut into blocks <= 16 KB).
* note 2 : decompressed size is always present when compression is done with ZSTD_compress()
* note 3 : decompressed size can be very large (64-bits value),
* potentially larger than what local system can handle as a single memory segment.
* In which case, it's necessary to use streaming mode to decompress data.
* note 4 : If source is untrusted, decompressed size could be wrong or intentionally modified.
* Always ensure result fits within application's authorized limits.
* Each application can set its own limits.
* note 5 : when return==0
, if precise failure cause is needed, use ZSTD_getFrameParams() to know more.
