41 * The multiplicative constant comes from 19-byte incompressible string

43 * breaks the copy-mode and it needs to be restarted with a new header. The
44 * total length is 2(header) + 19(string) + 2(link) = 23.
48 * The compressed data will not be longer than `LIZARD_MAX_LEN(input_length)`.

60 * Compress data provided in @in.
61 * The input buffer must be at last `@in_len + <<def_LIZARD_NEEDS_CHARS,LIZARD_NEEDS_CHARS>>`
62 * long (the compression algorithm does not check the bounds all the time).
64 * The output will be stored in @out. The @out buffer must be at last <<def_LIZARD_LEN,`LIZARD_LEN(@in_len)`>>
65 * bytes long for the output to fit in for sure.
67 * The function returns number of bytes actually needed (the size of output).
69 * Use @lizard_decompress() to get the original data.
71 int lizard_compress(const byte *in, uint in_len, byte *out);
74 * Decompress data previously compressed by @lizard_compress().
75 * Input is taken from @in and the result stored in @out.
76 * The size of output is returned.
78 * Note that you need to know the maximal possible size of the output to
79 * allocate enough memory.

100 * Return memory used by a <<struct_lizard_buffer,`lizard_buffer`>>.
101 * It frees even the data stored in it (the result of
102 * @lizard_decompress_safe() call that used this buffer).
104 void lizard_free(struct lizard_buffer *buf);
107 * This one acts much like @lizard_decompress(). The difference is it
108 * checks the data to be of correct length (therefore it will not
109 * crash on invalid data).
111 * It decompresses data provided by @in. The @buf is used to get the
112 * memory for output (you get one by @lizard_alloc()).
114 * The pointer to decompressed data is returned. To free it, free the
115 * buffer by @lizard_free().
117 * In the case of error, NULL is returned. In that case, `errno` is
118 * set either to `EINVAL` (expected_length does not match) or to
119 * `EFAULT` (a segfault has been caught while decompressing -- it
120 * probably means expected_length was set way too low). Both cases
121 * suggest either wrongly computed length or data corruption.
123 * The @buf argument may be reused for multiple decompresses. However,
124 * the data will be overwritten by the next call.
126 * Beware this function is not thread-safe and is not even reentrant
127 * (because of internal segfault handling).
