25 * LZ4 is a very fast byte-wise compression algorithm.
27 * Compared to Google's Snappy it is faster to compress and decompress and
28 * generally produces output of about the same size.
30 * Compared to zlib it compresses at about 10x the speed, decompresses at about
31 * 4x the speed and produces output of about 1.5x the size.
37 * Compresses |aInputSize| bytes from |aSource| into |aDest|. Destination
38 * buffer must be already allocated, and must be sized to handle worst cases
39 * situations (input data not compressible). Worst case size evaluation is
40 * provided by function maxCompressedSize()
42 * @param aInputSize is the input size. Max supported value is ~1.9GB

48 * Compress |aInputSize| bytes from |aSource| into an output buffer
49 * |aDest| of maximum size |aMaxOutputSize|. If it cannot achieve it,
50 * compression will stop, and result of the function will be zero,
51 * |aDest| will still be written to, but since the number of input
52 * bytes consumed is not returned the result is not usable.
54 * This function never writes outside of provided output buffer.
56 * @param aInputSize is the input size. Max supported value is ~1.9GB
57 * @param aMaxOutputSize is the size of the destination buffer (which must
58 * be already allocated)

69 * This function never writes beyond aDest + aMaxOutputSize, and is
70 * therefore protected against malicious data packets.
72 * Note: Destination buffer must be already allocated. This version is
73 * slightly slower than the decompress without the aMaxOutputSize.
75 * @param aInputSize is the length of the input compressed data
76 * @param aMaxOutputSize is the size of the destination buffer (which must be
78 * @param aOutputSize the actual number of bytes decoded in the destination
