+  real-time compression scenarios at zlib-level and better compression ratios.
+  The zstd compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression
+  functions.
+
+  The library supports regular compression levels from 1 up to ZSTD_maxCLevel(),
+  which is currently 22. Levels >= 20, labeled `--ultra`, should be used with
+  caution, as they require more memory. The library also offers negative
+  compression levels, which extend the range of speed vs. ratio preferences.
+  The lower the level, the faster the speed (at the cost of compression).

   Compression can be done in:
     - a single step (described as Simple API)
     - a single step, reusing a context (described as Explicit context)
     - unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
-  The compression ratio achievable on small data can be highly improved using a dictionary in:

+     * Zstd currently supports the use of a CDict in two ways:
+     *
+     * - The contents of the CDict can be copied into the working context. This
+     *   means that the compression can search both the dictionary and input
+     *   while operating on a single set of internal tables. This makes
+     *   the compression faster per-byte of input. However, the initial copy of
+     *   the CDict's tables incurs a fixed cost at the beginning of the
+     *   compression. For small compressions (< 8 KB), that copy can dominate
+     *   the cost of the compression.
+     *
+     * - The CDict's tables can be used in-place. In this model, compression is
+     *   slower per input byte, because the compressor has to search two sets of
+     *   tables. However, this model incurs no start-up cost (as long as the
+     *   working context's tables can be reused). For small inputs, this can be
+     *   faster than copying the CDict's tables.
+     *
+     * Zstd has a simple internal heuristic that selects which strategy to use
+     * at the beginning of a compression. However, if experimentation shows that
+     * Zstd is making poor choices, it is possible to override that choice with

- *  - 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.
- *  - In single-thread mode (default), function is blocking : it completed its job before returning to caller.
- *  - In multi-thread mode, function is non-blocking : it just acquires a copy of input, and distribute job to internal worker threads,
- *                                                     and then immediately returns, just indicating that there is some data remaining to be flushed.

- *  - Exception : in multi-threading mode, if the first call requests a ZSTD_e_end directive, it is blocking : it will complete compression before giving back control to caller.
- *  - @return provides a minimum amount of data remaining to be flushed from internal buffers
- *            or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
- *            if @return != 0, flush is not fully completed, there is still some data left within internal buffers.
- *            This is useful for ZSTD_e_flush, since in this case more flushes are necessary to empty all buffers.
- *            For ZSTD_e_end, @return == 0 when internal buffers are fully flushed and frame is completed.
- *  - after a ZSTD_e_end directive, if internal buffer is not fully flushed (@return != 0),

- *            Before starting a new compression job, or changing compression parameters,
