Functions

ZDICT_getDictID
ZDICT_getErrorName
ZDICT_isError
ZDICT_trainFromBuffer

ZDICT_trainFromBuffer(): Train a dictionary from an array of samples. Uses ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_cover() single-threaded, with d=8 and steps=4. Samples must be stored concatenated in a single flat buffer samplesBuffer, supplied with an array of sizes samplesSizes, providing the size of each sample, in order. The resulting dictionary will be saved into dictBuffer. @return: size of dictionary stored into dictBuffer (<= dictBufferCapacity) or an error code, which can be tested with ZDICT_isError(). Note: ZDICT_trainFromBuffer() requires about 9 bytes of memory for each input byte. Tips: In general, a reasonable dictionary has a size of ~ 100 KB. It's obviously possible to target smaller or larger ones, just by specifying different dictBufferCapacity. In general, it's recommended to provide a few thousands samples, but this can vary a lot. It's recommended that total size of all samples be about ~x100 times the target size of dictionary.

ZSTDMT_CCtxParam_setMTCtxParameter
ZSTDMT_compressCCtx
ZSTDMT_compressStream
ZSTDMT_compressStream_generic

ZSTDMT_compressStream_generic() : Combines ZSTDMT_compressStream() with ZSTDMT_flushStream() or ZSTDMT_endStream() depending on flush directive. @return : minimum amount of data still to be flushed 0 if fully flushed or an error code

ZSTDMT_compress_advanced
ZSTDMT_createCCtx

ZSTDMT_endStream
ZSTDMT_flushStream
ZSTDMT_freeCCtx
ZSTDMT_initCStream
ZSTDMT_initCStream_advanced
ZSTDMT_initCStream_internal

ZSTDMT_initCStream_internal() : Private use only. Init streaming operation. expects params to be valid. must receive dict, or cdict, or none, but not both. @return : 0, or an error code

ZSTDMT_initCStream_usingCDict
ZSTDMT_initializeCCtxParameters
ZSTDMT_resetCStream
ZSTDMT_setMTCtxParameter
ZSTDMT_sizeof_CCtx
ZSTD_CCtxParam_setParameter

ZSTD_CCtxParam_setParameter() : Similar to ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter. Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_cParameter. Parameters must be applied to a ZSTD_CCtx using ZSTD_CCtx_setParametersUsingCCtxParams(). Note : when value is an enum, cast it to unsigned for proper type checking. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary

ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() : Create an internal CDict from dict buffer. Decompression will have to use same buffer. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Adding a NULL (or 0-size) dictionary invalidates any previous dictionary, meaning "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 1 : dict content will be copied internally. Use ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_byReference() to reference dictionary content instead. The dictionary buffer must then outlive its users. Note 2 : Loading a dictionary involves building tables, which are dependent on compression parameters. For this reason, compression parameters cannot be changed anymore after loading a dictionary. It's also a CPU-heavy operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. Note 3 : Dictionary will be used for all future compression jobs. To return to "no-dictionary" situation, load a NULL dictionary Note 5 : Use ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_advanced() to select how dictionary content will be interpreted.

ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_advanced
ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_byReference
ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict

ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict() : Reference a prepared dictionary, to be used for all next compression jobs. Note that compression parameters are enforced from within CDict, and supercede any compression parameter previously set within CCtx. The dictionary will remain valid for future compression jobs using same CCtx. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : adding a NULL CDict means "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 1 : Currently, only one dictionary can be managed. Adding a new dictionary effectively "discards" any previous one. Note 2 : CDict is just referenced, its lifetime must outlive CCtx.

ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix

ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix() : Reference a prefix (single-usage dictionary) for next compression job. Decompression need same prefix to properly regenerate data. Prefix is only used once. Tables are discarded at end of compression job. Subsequent compression jobs will be done without prefix (if none is explicitly referenced). If there is a need to use same prefix multiple times, consider embedding it into a ZSTD_CDict instead. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Adding any prefix (including NULL) invalidates any previous prefix or dictionary Note 1 : Prefix buffer is referenced. It must outlive compression job. Note 2 : Referencing a prefix involves building tables, which are dependent on compression parameters. It's a CPU-heavy operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. Note 3 : By default, the prefix is treated as raw content (ZSTD_dm_rawContent). Use ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced() to alter dictMode.

ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced
ZSTD_CCtx_reset

ZSTD_CCtx_reset() : Return a CCtx to clean state. Useful after an error, or to interrupt an ongoing compression job and start a new one. Any internal data not yet flushed is cancelled. Dictionary (if any) is dropped. All parameters are back to default values. It's possible to modify compression parameters after a reset.

ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter

ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter() : Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_cParameter. Note : when value is an enum, cast it to unsigned for proper type checking. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_CCtx_setParametersUsingCCtxParams

ZSTD_CCtx_setParametersUsingCCtxParams() : Apply a set of ZSTD_CCtx_params to the compression context. This must be done before the dictionary is loaded. The pledgedSrcSize is treated as unknown. Multithreading parameters are applied only if nbThreads > 1.

ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize

ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize() : Total input data size to be compressed as a single frame. This value will be controlled at the end, and result in error if not respected. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Note 1 : 0 means zero, empty. In order to mean "unknown content size", pass constant ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN. Note that ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN is default value for new compression jobs. Note 2 : If all data is provided and consumed in a single round, this value is overriden by srcSize instead.

ZSTD_CStreamInSize
ZSTD_CStreamOutSize
ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary

ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary() : Create an internal DDict from dict buffer, to be used to decompress next frames. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Adding a NULL (or 0-size) dictionary invalidates any previous dictionary, meaning "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 1 : dict content will be copied internally. Use ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_byReference() to reference dictionary content instead. In which case, the dictionary buffer must outlive its users. Note 2 : Loading a dictionary involves building tables, which has a non-negligible impact on CPU usage and latency. Note 3 : Use ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_advanced() to select how dictionary content will be interpreted and loaded.

ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_advanced
ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_byReference
ZSTD_DCtx_refDDict

ZSTD_DCtx_refDDict() : Reference a prepared dictionary, to be used to decompress next frames. The dictionary remains active for decompression of future frames using same DCtx. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Note 1 : Currently, only one dictionary can be managed. Referencing a new dictionary effectively "discards" any previous one. Special : adding a NULL DDict means "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 2 : DDict is just referenced, its lifetime must outlive its usage from DCtx.

ZSTD_DCtx_refPrefix

ZSTD_DCtx_refPrefix() : Reference a prefix (single-usage dictionary) for next compression job. Prefix is only used once. It must be explicitly referenced before each frame. If there is a need to use same prefix multiple times, consider embedding it into a ZSTD_DDict instead. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Note 1 : Adding any prefix (including NULL) invalidates any previously set prefix or dictionary Note 2 : Prefix buffer is referenced. It must outlive compression job. Note 3 : By default, the prefix is treated as raw content (ZSTD_dm_rawContent). Use ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced() to alter dictMode. Note 4 : Referencing a raw content prefix has almost no cpu nor memory cost.

ZSTD_DCtx_refPrefix_advanced
ZSTD_DCtx_reset

ZSTD_DCtx_reset() : Return a DCtx to clean state. If a decompression was ongoing, any internal data not yet flushed is cancelled. All parameters are back to default values, including sticky ones. Dictionary (if any) is dropped. Parameters can be modified again after a reset.

ZSTD_DCtx_setFormat

ZSTD_DCtx_setFormat() : Instruct the decoder context about what kind of data to decode next. This instruction is mandatory to decode data without a fully-formed header, such ZSTD_f_zstd1_magicless for example. @return : 0, or an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_DCtx_setMaxWindowSize

ZSTD_DCtx_setMaxWindowSize() : Refuses allocating internal buffers for frames requiring a window size larger than provided limit. This is useful to prevent a decoder context from reserving too much memory for itself (potential attack scenario). This parameter is only useful in streaming mode, since no internal buffer is allocated in direct mode. By default, a decompression context accepts all window sizes <= (1 << ZSTD_WINDOWLOG_MAX) @return : 0, or an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_DStreamInSize
ZSTD_DStreamOutSize
ZSTD_adjustCParams

ZSTD_adjustCParams() : optimize params for a given srcSize and dictSize. both values are optional, select 0 if unknown.

ZSTD_checkCParams

ZSTD_checkCParams() : Ensure param values remain within authorized range

ZSTD_compress

Simple API / /*! ZSTD_compress() : Compresses src content as a single zstd compressed frame into already allocated dst. Hint : compression runs faster if dstCapacity >= ZSTD_compressBound(srcSize). @return : compressed size written into dst (<= `dstCapacity), or an error code if it fails (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_compressBegin

Buffer-less streaming compression (synchronous mode)

ZSTD_compressContinue
ZSTD_compressEnd
ZSTD_compressStream
ZSTD_compress_advanced

ZSTD_compress_advanced() : Same as ZSTD_compress_usingDict(), with fine-tune control over each compression parameter

ZSTD_compress_generic

ZSTD_compress_generic() : Behave about the same as ZSTD_compressStream. To note : - Compression parameters are pushed into CCtx before starting compression, using ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter() - Compression parameters cannot be changed once compression is started. - outpot->pos must be <= dstCapacity, input->pos must be <= srcSize - outpot->pos and input->pos will be updated. They are guaranteed to remain below their respective limit. - @return provides the minimum amount of data still to flush from internal buffers or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError(). if @return != 0, flush is not fully completed, there is some data left within internal buffers. - after a ZSTD_e_end directive, if internal buffer is not fully flushed, only ZSTD_e_end or ZSTD_e_flush operations are allowed. It is necessary to fully flush internal buffers before starting a new compression job, or changing compression parameters.

ZSTD_compress_generic_simpleArgs

ZSTD_compress_generic_simpleArgs() : Same as ZSTD_compress_generic(), but using only integral types as arguments. Argument list is larger than ZSTD_{in,out}Buffer, but can be helpful for binders from dynamic languages which have troubles handling structures containing memory pointers.

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict() : Compression using a digested Dictionary. Faster startup than ZSTD_compress_usingDict(), recommended when same dictionary is used multiple times. Note that compression level is decided during dictionary creation. Frame parameters are hardcoded (dictID=yes, contentSize=yes, checksum=no)

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict_advanced

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict_advanced() : Same as ZSTD_compress_usingCDict(), with fine-tune control over frame parameters

ZSTD_compress_usingDict

Simple dictionary API / /*! ZSTD_compress_usingDict() : Compression using a predefined Dictionary (see dictBuilder/zdict.h). Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. Note : When dict == NULL || dictSize < 8 no dictionary is used.

ZSTD_copyCCtx
ZSTD_copyDCtx
ZSTD_createCCtx
ZSTD_createCCtxParams

ZSTD_CCtx_params : Quick howto : - ZSTD_createCCtxParams() : Create a ZSTD_CCtx_params structure - ZSTD_CCtxParam_setParameter() : Push parameters one by one into an existing ZSTD_CCtx_params structure. This is similar to ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(). - ZSTD_CCtx_setParametersUsingCCtxParams() : Apply parameters to an existing CCtx. These parameters will be applied to all subsequent compression jobs. - ZSTD_compress_generic() : Do compression using the CCtx. - ZSTD_freeCCtxParams() : Free the memory.

Advanced compression functions / /*! ZSTD_createCCtx_advanced() : Create a ZSTD compression context using external alloc and free functions

ZSTD_createCDict

ZSTD_createCDict() : When compressing multiple messages / blocks with the same dictionary, it's recommended to load it just once. ZSTD_createCDict() will create a digested dictionary, ready to start future compression operations without startup delay. ZSTD_CDict can be created once and shared by multiple threads concurrently, since its usage is read-only. dictBuffer can be released after ZSTD_CDict creation, since its content is copied within CDict

ZSTD_createCDict_advanced

ZSTD_createCDict_advanced() : Create a ZSTD_CDict using external alloc and free, and customized compression parameters

ZSTD_createCDict_byReference

ZSTD_createCDict_byReference() : Create a digested dictionary for compression Dictionary content is simply referenced, and therefore stays in dictBuffer. It is important that dictBuffer outlives CDict, it must remain read accessible throughout the lifetime of CDict

ZSTD_createCStream
ZSTD_createCStream_advanced

Advanced streaming functions

ZSTD_createDCtx
ZSTD_createDCtx_advanced

ZSTD_createDCtx_advanced() : Create a ZSTD decompression context using external alloc and free functions

ZSTD_createDDict

ZSTD_createDDict() : Create a digested dictionary, ready to start decompression operation without startup delay. dictBuffer can be released after DDict creation, as its content is copied inside DDict

ZSTD_createDDict_advanced

ZSTD_createDDict_advanced() : Create a ZSTD_DDict using external alloc and free, optionally by reference

ZSTD_createDDict_byReference

ZSTD_createDDict_byReference() : Create a digested dictionary, ready to start decompression operation without startup delay. Dictionary content is referenced, and therefore stays in dictBuffer. It is important that dictBuffer outlives DDict, it must remain read accessible throughout the lifetime of DDict

ZSTD_createDStream
ZSTD_createDStream_advanced
ZSTD_decodingBufferSize_min
ZSTD_decompress

ZSTD_decompress() : compressedSize : must be the exact size of some number of compressed and/or skippable frames. dstCapacity is an upper bound of originalSize to regenerate. If user cannot imply a maximum upper bound, it's better to use streaming mode to decompress data. @return : the number of bytes decompressed into dst (<= dstCapacity), or an errorCode if it fails (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_decompressBegin
ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDDict
ZSTD_decompressBegin_usingDict
ZSTD_decompressBlock
ZSTD_decompressContinue
ZSTD_decompressDCtx

ZSTD_decompressDCtx() : Same as ZSTD_decompress(), requires an allocated ZSTD_DCtx (see ZSTD_createDCtx())

ZSTD_decompressStream
ZSTD_decompress_generic

ZSTD_decompress_generic() : Behave the same as ZSTD_decompressStream. Decompression parameters cannot be changed once decompression is started. @return : an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError() if >0, a hint, nb of expected input bytes for next invocation. 0 means : a frame has just been fully decoded and flushed.

ZSTD_decompress_generic_simpleArgs

ZSTD_decompress_generic_simpleArgs() : Same as ZSTD_decompress_generic(), but using only integral types as arguments. Argument list is larger than ZSTD_{in,out}Buffer, but can be helpful for binders from dynamic languages which have troubles handling structures containing memory pointers.

ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict

ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict() : Decompression using a digested Dictionary. Faster startup than ZSTD_decompress_usingDict(), recommended when same dictionary is used multiple times.

ZSTD_decompress_usingDict

ZSTD_decompress_usingDict() : Decompression using a predefined Dictionary (see dictBuilder/zdict.h). Dictionary must be identical to the one used during compression. Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. Note : When dict == NULL || dictSize < 8 no dictionary is used.

ZSTD_endStream
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize

ZSTD_estimate*() : These functions make it possible to estimate memory usage of a future {D,C}Ctx, before its creation. ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize() will provide a budget large enough for any compression level up to selected one. It will also consider src size to be arbitrarily "large", which is worst case. If srcSize is known to always be small, ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams() can provide a tighter estimation. ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams() can be used in tandem with ZSTD_getCParams() to create cParams from compressionLevel. ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCCtxParams() can be used in tandem with ZSTD_CCtxParam_setParameter(). Only single-threaded compression is supported. This function will return an error code if ZSTD_p_nbThreads is > 1. Note : CCtx estimation is only correct for single-threaded compression

ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCCtxParams
ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize_usingCParams
ZSTD_estimateCDictSize

ZSTD_estimate?DictSize() : ZSTD_estimateCDictSize() will bet that src size is relatively "small", and content is copied, like ZSTD_createCDict(). ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize_advanced_usingCParams() makes it possible to control precisely compression parameters, like ZSTD_createCDict_advanced(). Note : dictionary created by reference using ZSTD_dlm_byRef are smaller

ZSTD_estimateCDictSize_advanced
ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize

ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize() : ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize() will provide a budget large enough for any compression level up to selected one. It will also consider src size to be arbitrarily "large", which is worst case. If srcSize is known to always be small, ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize_usingCParams() can provide a tighter estimation. ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize_usingCParams() can be used in tandem with ZSTD_getCParams() to create cParams from compressionLevel. ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize_usingCCtxParams() can be used in tandem with ZSTD_CCtxParam_setParameter(). Only single-threaded compression is supported. This function will return an error code if ZSTD_p_nbThreads is set to a value > 1. Note : CStream estimation is only correct for single-threaded compression. ZSTD_DStream memory budget depends on window Size. This information can be passed manually, using ZSTD_estimateDStreamSize, or deducted from a valid frame Header, using ZSTD_estimateDStreamSize_fromFrame(); Note : if streaming is init with function ZSTD_init?Stream_usingDict(), an internal ?Dict will be created, which additional size is not estimated here. In this case, get total size by adding ZSTD_estimate?DictSize

ZSTD_estimateDStreamSize_fromFrame
ZSTD_findDecompressedSize

ZSTD_findDecompressedSize() : src should point the start of a series of ZSTD encoded and/or skippable frames srcSize must be the exact size of this series (i.e. there should be a frame boundary exactly at srcSize bytes after src) @return : - decompressed size of all data in all successive frames - if the decompressed size cannot be determined: ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN - if an error occurred: ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_ERROR

ZSTD_findFrameCompressedSize

ZSTD_findFrameCompressedSize() : src should point to the start of a ZSTD encoded frame or skippable frame srcSize must be at least as large as the frame @return : the compressed size of the first frame starting at src, suitable to pass to ZSTD_decompress or similar, or an error code if input is invalid

ZSTD_flushStream
ZSTD_frameHeaderSize

ZSTD_frameHeaderSize() : src should point to the start of a ZSTD frame srcSize must be >= ZSTD_frameHeaderSize_prefix. @return : size of the Frame Header

ZSTD_freeCCtx
ZSTD_freeCCtxParams
ZSTD_freeCDict

ZSTD_freeCDict() : Function frees memory allocated by ZSTD_createCDict().

ZSTD_freeCStream
ZSTD_freeDCtx
ZSTD_freeDDict

ZSTD_freeDDict() : Function frees memory allocated with ZSTD_createDDict()

ZSTD_freeDStream
ZSTD_getBlockSize
ZSTD_getCParams

ZSTD_getCParams() : @return ZSTD_compressionParameters structure for a selected compression level and estimated srcSize. estimatedSrcSize value is optional, select 0 if not known

ZSTD_getDecompressedSize

ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() : NOTE: This function is now obsolete, in favor of ZSTD_getFrameContentSize(). Both functions work the same way, but ZSTD_getDecompressedSize() blends "empty", "unknown" and "error" results in the same return value (0), while ZSTD_getFrameContentSize() distinguishes them.

ZSTD_getDictID_fromDDict

ZSTD_getDictID_fromDDict() : Provides the dictID of the dictionary loaded into ddict. If @return == 0, the dictionary is not conformant to Zstandard specification, or empty. Non-conformant dictionaries can still be loaded, but as content-only dictionaries.

ZSTD_getDictID_fromDict

ZSTD_getDictID_fromDict() : Provides the dictID stored within dictionary. if @return == 0, the dictionary is not conformant with Zstandard specification. It can still be loaded, but as a content-only dictionary.

ZSTD_getDictID_fromFrame

ZSTD_getDictID_fromFrame() : Provides the dictID required to decompressed the frame stored within src. If @return == 0, the dictID could not be decoded. This could for one of the following reasons : - The frame does not require a dictionary to be decoded (most common case). - The frame was built with dictID intentionally removed. Whatever dictionary is necessary is a hidden information. Note : this use case also happens when using a non-conformant dictionary. - srcSize is too small, and as a result, the frame header could not be decoded (only possible if srcSize < ZSTD_FRAMEHEADERSIZE_MAX). - This is not a Zstandard frame. When identifying the exact failure cause, it's possible to use ZSTD_getFrameHeader(), which will provide a more precise error code.

ZSTD_getErrorName
ZSTD_getFrameContentSize
ZSTD_getFrameHeader
ZSTD_getParams

ZSTD_getParams() : same as ZSTD_getCParams(), but @return a full ZSTD_parameters object instead of sub-component ZSTD_compressionParameters. All fields of ZSTD_frameParameters are set to default (0)

ZSTD_initStaticCCtx

ZSTD_initStaticCCtx() : initialize a fixed-size zstd compression context workspace: The memory area to emplace the context into. Provided pointer must 8-bytes aligned. It must outlive context usage. workspaceSize: Use ZSTD_estimateCCtxSize() or ZSTD_estimateCStreamSize() to determine how large workspace must be to support scenario. @return : pointer to ZSTD_CCtx*, or NULL if error (size too small) Note : zstd will never resize nor malloc() when using a static cctx. If it needs more memory than available, it will simply error out. Note 2 : there is no corresponding "free" function. Since workspace was allocated externally, it must be freed externally too. Limitation 1 : currently not compatible with internal CDict creation, such as ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() or ZSTD_initCStream_usingDict(). Limitation 2 : currently not compatible with multi-threading

ZSTD_initStaticCDict

ZSTD_initStaticCDict_advanced() : Generate a digested dictionary in provided memory area. workspace: The memory area to emplace the dictionary into. Provided pointer must 8-bytes aligned. It must outlive dictionary usage. workspaceSize: Use ZSTD_estimateCDictSize() to determine how large workspace must be. cParams : use ZSTD_getCParams() to transform a compression level into its relevants cParams. @return : pointer to ZSTD_CDict*, or NULL if error (size too small) Note : there is no corresponding "free" function. Since workspace was allocated externally, it must be freed externally.

ZSTD_initStaticCStream
ZSTD_initStaticDCtx

ZSTD_initStaticDCtx() : initialize a fixed-size zstd decompression context workspace: The memory area to emplace the context into. Provided pointer must 8-bytes aligned. It must outlive context usage. workspaceSize: Use ZSTD_estimateDCtxSize() or ZSTD_estimateDStreamSize() to determine how large workspace must be to support scenario. @return : pointer to ZSTD_DCtx*, or NULL if error (size too small) Note : zstd will never resize nor malloc() when using a static dctx. If it needs more memory than available, it will simply error out. Note 2 : static dctx is incompatible with legacy support Note 3 : there is no corresponding "free" function. Since workspace was allocated externally, it must be freed externally. Limitation : currently not compatible with internal DDict creation, such as ZSTD_initDStream_usingDict().

ZSTD_initStaticDDict

ZSTD_initStaticDDict() : Generate a digested dictionary in provided memory area. workspace: The memory area to emplace the dictionary into. Provided pointer must 8-bytes aligned. It must outlive dictionary usage. workspaceSize: Use ZSTD_estimateDDictSize() to determine how large workspace must be. @return : pointer to ZSTD_DDict*, or NULL if error (size too small) Note : there is no corresponding "free" function. Since workspace was allocated externally, it must be freed externally.

ZSTD_initStaticDStream
ZSTD_insertBlock
ZSTD_isError
ZSTD_isFrame

ZSTD_isFrame() : Tells if the content of buffer starts with a valid Frame Identifier. Note : Frame Identifier is 4 bytes. If size < 4, @return will always be 0. Note 2 : Legacy Frame Identifiers are considered valid only if Legacy Support is enabled. Note 3 : Skippable Frame Identifiers are considered valid.

ZSTD_maxCLevel
ZSTD_nextInputType
ZSTD_nextSrcSizeToDecompress
ZSTD_resetCCtxParams

ZSTD_resetCCtxParams() : Reset params to default, with the default compression level.

ZSTD_resetCStream

ZSTD_resetCStream() : start a new compression job, using same parameters from previous job. This is typically useful to skip dictionary loading stage, since it will re-use it in-place.. Note that zcs must be init at least once before using ZSTD_resetCStream(). pledgedSrcSize==0 means "srcSize unknown". If pledgedSrcSize > 0, its value must be correct, as it will be written in header, and controlled at the end. @return : 0, or an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError())

ZSTD_resetDStream
ZSTD_setDStreamParameter
ZSTD_sizeof_CCtx
