◆ LZ4_memcpy

#define LZ4_memcpy (   dst,

)    memcpy(dst, src, size)

LZ4 relies on memcpy with a constant size being inlined. In freestanding environments, the compiler can't assume the implementation of memcpy() is standard compliant, so it can't apply its specialized memcpy() inlining logic. When possible, use __builtin_memcpy() to tell the compiler to analyze memcpy() as if it were standard compliant, so it can inline it in freestanding environments. This is needed when decompressing the Linux Kernel, for example.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ dict_directive

This enum distinguishes several different modes of accessing previous content in the stream.

  • noDict : There is no preceding content.
  • withPrefix64k : Table entries up to ctx->dictSize before the current blob blob being compressed are valid and refer to the preceding content (of length ctx->dictSize), which is available contiguously preceding in memory the content currently being compressed.
  • usingExtDict : Like withPrefix64k, but the preceding content is somewhere else in memory, starting at ctx->dictionary with length ctx->dictSize.
  • usingDictCtx : Everything concerning the preceding content is in a separate context, pointed to by ctx->dictCtx. ctx->dictionary, ctx->dictSize, and table entries in the current context that refer to positions preceding the beginning of the current compression are ignored. Instead, ctx->dictCtx->dictionary and ctx->dictCtx ->dictSize describe the location and size of the preceding content, and matches are found by looking in the ctx ->dictCtx->hashTable.

Function Documentation

◆ LZ4_attach_dictionary()

void LZ4_attach_dictionary ( LZ4_stream_t workingStream,
const LZ4_stream_t dictionaryStream 
)

LZ4_attach_dictionary() : stable since v1.10.0

This allows efficient re-use of a static dictionary multiple times.

Rather than re-loading the dictionary buffer into a working context before each compression, or copying a pre-loaded dictionary's LZ4_stream_t into a working LZ4_stream_t, this function introduces a no-copy setup mechanism, in which the working stream references dictionaryStream in-place.

Several assumptions are made about the state of dictionaryStream. Currently, only states which have been prepared by LZ4_loadDict() or LZ4_loadDictSlow() should be expected to work.

Alternatively, the provided dictionaryStream may be NULL, in which case any existing dictionary stream is unset.

If a dictionary is provided, it replaces any pre-existing stream history. The dictionary contents are the only history that can be referenced and logically immediately precede the data compressed in the first subsequent compression call.

The dictionary will only remain attached to the working stream through the first compression call, at the end of which it is cleared. dictionaryStream stream (and source buffer) must remain in-place / accessible / unchanged through the completion of the compression session.

Note: there is no equivalent LZ4_attach_*() method on the decompression side because there is no initialization cost, hence no need to share the cost across multiple sessions. To decompress LZ4 blocks using dictionary, attached or not, just employ the regular LZ4_setStreamDecode() for streaming, or the stateless LZ4_decompress_safe_usingDict() for one-shot decompression.

◆ LZ4_compress_default()

int LZ4_compress_default ( const char *  src,
char *  dst,
int  srcSize,
int  dstCapacity 
)

LZ4_compress_default() : Compresses 'srcSize' bytes from buffer 'src' into already allocated 'dst' buffer of size 'dstCapacity'. Compression is guaranteed to succeed if 'dstCapacity' >= LZ4_compressBound(srcSize). It also runs faster, so it's a recommended setting. If the function cannot compress 'src' into a more limited 'dst' budget, compression stops immediately, and the function result is zero. In which case, 'dst' content is undefined (invalid).

Parameters
srcSizemax supported value is LZ4_MAX_INPUT_SIZE.
dstCapacitysize of buffer 'dst' (which must be already allocated)
Returns
the number of bytes written into buffer 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity) or 0 if compression fails Note : This function is protected against buffer overflow scenarios (never writes outside 'dst' buffer, nor read outside 'source' buffer).

Definition at line 1808 of file lz4.c.

◆ LZ4_compress_destSize()

int LZ4_compress_destSize ( const char *  src,
char *  dst,
int *  srcSizePtr,
int  targetDstSize 
)

LZ4_compress_destSize() : Reverse the logic : compresses as much data as possible from 'src' buffer into already allocated buffer 'dst', of size >= 'dstCapacity'. This function either compresses the entire 'src' content into 'dst' if it's large enough, or fill 'dst' buffer completely with as much data as possible from 'src'. note: acceleration parameter is fixed to "default".

Parameters
[in,out]srcSizePtrInitially contains size of input. Will be modified to indicate how many bytes where read from 'src' to fill 'dst'. New value is necessarily <= input value.
Returns
Nb bytes written into 'dst' (necessarily <= dstCapacity) or 0 if compression fails.

Note : from v1.8.2 to v1.9.1, this function had a bug (fixed in v1.9.2+): the produced compressed content could, in specific circumstances, require to be decompressed into a destination buffer larger by at least 1 byte than the content to decompress. If an application uses LZ4_compress_destSize(), it's highly recommended to update liblz4 to v1.9.2 or better. If this can't be done or ensured, the receiving decompression function should provide a dstCapacity which is > decompressedSize, by at least 1 byte. See https://github.com/lz4/lz4/issues/859 for details

◆ LZ4_compress_fast()

int LZ4_compress_fast ( const char *  src,
char *  dst,
int  srcSize,
int  dstCapacity,
int  acceleration 
)

LZ4_compress_fast() : Same as LZ4_compress_default(), but allows selection of "acceleration" factor. The larger the acceleration value, the faster the algorithm, but also the lesser the compression. It's a trade-off. It can be fine tuned, with each successive value providing roughly +~3% to speed. An acceleration value of "1" is the same as regular LZ4_compress_default() Values <= 0 will be replaced by LZ4_ACCELERATION_DEFAULT (currently == 1, see lz4.c). Values > LZ4_ACCELERATION_MAX will be replaced by LZ4_ACCELERATION_MAX (currently == 65537, see lz4.c).

Definition at line 1786 of file lz4.c.

◆ LZ4_compress_fast_continue()

int LZ4_compress_fast_continue ( LZ4_stream_t streamPtr,
const char *  src,
char *  dst,
int  srcSize,
int  dstCapacity,
int  acceleration 
)

LZ4_compress_fast_continue() : Compress 'src' content using data from previously compressed blocks, for better compression ratio. 'dst' buffer must be already allocated. If dstCapacity >= LZ4_compressBound(srcSize), compression is guaranteed to succeed, and runs faster.

Returns
size of compressed block or 0 if there is an error (typically, cannot fit into 'dst').

Note 1 : Each invocation to LZ4_compress_fast_continue() generates a new block. Each block has precise boundaries. Each block must be decompressed separately, calling LZ4_decompress_*() with relevant metadata. It's not possible to append blocks together and expect a single invocation of LZ4_decompress_*() to decompress them together.

Note 2 : The previous 64KB of source data is assumed to remain present, unmodified, at same address in memory !

Note 3 : When input is structured as a double-buffer, each buffer can have any size, including < 64 KB. Make sure that buffers are separated, by at least one byte. This construction ensures that each block only depends on previous block.

Note 4 : If input buffer is a ring-buffer, it can have any size, including < 64 KB.

Note 5 : After an error, the stream status is undefined (invalid), it can only be reset or freed.

int LZ4_compress_fast_extState_fastReset ( void *  state,

char *  dst,
int  srcSize,
int  dstCapacity,
int  acceleration 
)

LZ4_compress_fast_extState_fastReset() : A variant of LZ4_compress_fast_extState().

Using this variant avoids an expensive initialization step. It is only safe to call if the state buffer is known to be correctly initialized already (see comment in lz4.h on LZ4_resetStream_fast() for a definition of "correctly initialized").

◆ LZ4_compressBound()

int LZ4_compressBound ( int  inputSize)

LZ4_compressBound() : Provides the maximum size that LZ4 compression may output in a "worst case" scenario (input data not compressible) This function is primarily useful for memory allocation purposes (destination buffer size). Macro LZ4_COMPRESSBOUND() is also provided for compilation-time evaluation (stack memory allocation for example). Note that LZ4_compress_default() compresses faster when dstCapacity is >= LZ4_compressBound(srcSize)

Parameters
inputSizemax supported value is LZ4_MAX_INPUT_SIZE
Returns
maximum output size in a "worst case" scenario or 0, if input size is incorrect (too large or negative)

Note about RC_INVOKED

  • RC_INVOKED is predefined symbol of rc.exe (the resource compiler which is part of MSVC/Visual Studio). https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/predefined-macros
  • Since rc.exe is a legacy compiler, it truncates long symbol (> 30 chars) and reports warning "RC4011: identifier truncated".
  • To eliminate the warning, we surround long preprocessor symbol with "#if !defined(RC_INVOKED) ... #endif" block that means "skip this block when rc.exe is trying to read it".

LZ4_initStream() : v1.9.0+ An LZ4_stream_t structure must be initialized at least once. This is automatically done when invoking LZ4_createStream(), but it's not when the structure is simply declared on stack (for example).

Use LZ4_initStream() to properly initialize a newly declared LZ4_stream_t. It can also initialize any arbitrary buffer of sufficient size, and will

Returns
a pointer of proper type upon initialization.

NULL. Note2: An LZ4_stream_t structure guarantees correct alignment and size. Note3: Before v1.9.0, use LZ4_resetStream() instead

◆ LZ4_loadDict()

int LZ4_loadDict ( LZ4_stream_t streamPtr,
const char *  dictionary,
int  dictSize 
)

LZ4_loadDict() : Use this function to reference a static dictionary into LZ4_stream_t. The dictionary must remain available during compression. LZ4_loadDict() triggers a reset, so any previous data will be forgotten. The same dictionary will have to be loaded on decompression side for successful decoding. Dictionary are useful for better compression of small data (KB range). While LZ4 itself accepts any input as dictionary, dictionary efficiency is also a topic. When in doubt, employ the Zstandard's Dictionary Builder. Loading a size of 0 is allowed, and is the same as reset.

Returns

◆ LZ4_loadDictSlow()

int LZ4_loadDictSlow ( LZ4_stream_t streamPtr,
const char *  dictionary,
int  dictSize 
)

LZ4_loadDictSlow() : v1.10.0+ Same as LZ4_loadDict(), but uses a bit more cpu to reference the dictionary content more thoroughly. This is expected to slightly improve compression ratio. The extra-cpu cost is likely worth it if the dictionary is re-used across multiple sessions.

Returns
loaded dictionary size, in bytes (note: only the last 64 KB are loaded)

◆ LZ4_resetStream()

void LZ4_resetStream ( LZ4_stream_t streamPtr)

LZ4_resetStream() : An LZ4_stream_t structure must be initialized at least once. This is done with LZ4_initStream(), or LZ4_resetStream(). Consider switching to LZ4_initStream(), invoking LZ4_resetStream() will trigger deprecation warnings in the future.

◆ LZ4_resetStream_fast()

void LZ4_resetStream_fast ( LZ4_stream_t streamPtr)

LZ4_resetStream_fast() : v1.9.0+ Use this to prepare an LZ4_stream_t for a new chain of dependent blocks (e.g., LZ4_compress_fast_continue()).

An LZ4_stream_t must be initialized once before usage. This is automatically done when created by LZ4_createStream(). However, should the LZ4_stream_t be simply declared on stack (for example), it's necessary to initialize it first, using LZ4_initStream().

After init, start any new stream with LZ4_resetStream_fast(). A same LZ4_stream_t can be re-used multiple times consecutively and compress multiple streams, provided that it starts each new stream with LZ4_resetStream_fast().

LZ4_resetStream_fast() is much faster than LZ4_initStream(), but is not compatible with memory regions containing garbage data.

Note: it's only useful to call LZ4_resetStream_fast() in the context of streaming compression. The extState functions perform their own resets. Invoking LZ4_resetStream_fast() before is redundant, and even counterproductive.

◆ LZ4_saveDict()

int LZ4_saveDict ( LZ4_stream_t LZ4_dict,
char *  safeBuffer,
int  dictSize 
)

LZ4_saveDict() : If previously compressed data block is not guaranteed to remain available at its memory location, save it into a safer place (char* safeBuffer). Note : no need to call LZ4_loadDict() afterwards, dictionary is immediately usable, one can therefore call LZ4_compress_fast_continue() right after.

Returns
: saved dictionary size in bytes (necessarily <= dictSize), or 0 if error.

◆ LZ4_sizeofState()

int LZ4_sizeofState ( void  )

LZ4_compress_fast_extState() : Same as LZ4_compress_fast(), using an externally allocated memory space for its state. Use LZ4_sizeofState() to know how much memory must be allocated, and allocate it on 8-bytes boundaries (using malloc() typically). Then, provide this buffer as void* state to compression function.
