Functions

ZDICT_getDictID
ZDICT_getErrorName
ZDICT_isError
ZDICT_trainFromBuffer

ZDICT_trainFromBuffer(): Train a dictionary from an array of samples. Redirect towards ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover() single-threaded, with d=8, steps=4, f=20, and accel=1. 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: Dictionary training will fail if there are not enough samples to construct a dictionary, or if most of the samples are too small (< 8 bytes being the lower limit). If dictionary training fails, you should use zstd without a dictionary, as the dictionary would've been ineffective anyways. If you believe your samples would benefit from a dictionary please open an issue with details, and we can look into it. Note: ZDICT_trainFromBuffer()'s memory usage is about 6 MB. Tips: In general, a reasonable dictionary has a size of ~ 100 KB. It's possible to select smaller or larger size, just by specifying dictBufferCapacity. In general, it's recommended to provide a few thousands samples, though this can vary a lot. It's recommended that total size of all samples be about ~x100 times the target size of dictionary.

ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary

ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() : Create an internal CDict from dict buffer. Decompression will have to use same dictionary. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special: Loading a NULL (or 0-size) dictionary invalidates previous dictionary, meaning "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 1 : Dictionary is sticky, it will be used for all future compressed frames. To return to "no-dictionary" situation, load a NULL dictionary (or reset parameters). Note 2 : Loading a dictionary involves building tables. It's also a CPU consuming operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. Tables are dependent on compression parameters, and for this reason, compression parameters can no longer be changed after loading a dictionary. Note 3 :dict content will be copied internally. Use experimental ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_byReference() to reference content instead. In such a case, dictionary buffer must outlive its users. Note 4 : Use ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary_advanced() to precisely select how dictionary content must be interpreted.

ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict

ZSTD_CCtx_refCDict() : Reference a prepared dictionary, to be used for all next compressed frames. Note that compression parameters are enforced from within CDict, and supersede any compression parameter previously set within CCtx. The parameters ignored are labled as "superseded-by-cdict" in the ZSTD_cParameter enum docs. The ignored parameters will be used again if the CCtx is returned to no-dictionary mode. The dictionary will remain valid for future compressed frames using same CCtx. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Special : Referencing a NULL CDict means "return to no-dictionary mode". Note 1 : Currently, only one dictionary can be managed. Referencing a new dictionary effectively "discards" any previous one. Note 2 : CDict is just referenced, its lifetime must outlive its usage within CCtx.

ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix

ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix() : Reference a prefix (single-usage dictionary) for next compressed frame. A prefix is only used once. Tables are discarded at end of frame (ZSTD_e_end). Decompression will need same prefix to properly regenerate data. Compressing with a prefix is similar in outcome as performing a diff and compressing it, but performs much faster, especially during decompression (compression speed is tunable with compression level). @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. Its content must remain unmodified during compression. Note 2 : If the intention is to diff some large src data blob with some prior version of itself, ensure that the window size is large enough to contain the entire source. See ZSTD_c_windowLog. Note 3 : Referencing a prefix involves building tables, which are dependent on compression parameters. It's a CPU consuming operation, with non-negligible impact on latency. If there is a need to use the same prefix multiple times, consider loadDictionary instead. Note 4 : By default, the prefix is interpreted as raw content (ZSTD_dm_rawContent). Use experimental ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced() to alter dictionary interpretation.

ZSTD_CCtx_reset

ZSTD_CCtx_reset() : There are 2 different things that can be reset, independently or jointly :

ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter

ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter() : Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_cParameter. All parameters have valid bounds. Bounds can be queried using ZSTD_cParam_getBounds(). Providing a value beyond bound will either clamp it, or trigger an error (depending on parameter). Setting a parameter is generally only possible during frame initialization (before starting compression). Exception : when using multi-threading mode (nbWorkers >= 1), the following parameters can be updated during compression (within same frame): => compressionLevel, hashLog, chainLog, searchLog, minMatch, targetLength and strategy. new parameters will be active for next job only (after a flush()). @return : an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize

ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize() : Total input data size to be compressed as a single frame. Value will be written in frame header, unless if explicitly forbidden using ZSTD_c_contentSizeFlag. This value will also be controlled at end of frame, and trigger an error if not respected. @result : 0, or an error code (which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()). Note 1 : pledgedSrcSize==0 actually means zero, aka an empty frame. In order to mean "unknown content size", pass constant ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN. ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN is default value for any new frame. Note 2 : pledgedSrcSize is only valid once, for the next frame. It's discarded at the end of the frame, and replaced by ZSTD_CONTENTSIZE_UNKNOWN. Note 3 : Whenever all input data is provided and consumed in a single round, for example with ZSTD_compress2(), or invoking immediately ZSTD_compressStream2(,,,ZSTD_e_end), this value is automatically overridden 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. The dictionary remains valid for all future frames, until explicitly invalidated. @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 : Loading a dictionary involves building tables, which has a non-negligible impact on CPU usage and latency. It's recommended to "load once, use many times", to amortize the cost Note 2 :dict content will be copied internally, so dict can be released after loading. Use ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_byReference() to reference dictionary content instead. Note 3 : Use ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary_advanced() to take control of how dictionary content is loaded and interpreted.

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: referencing 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) to decompress next frame. This is the reverse operation of ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix(), and must use the same prefix as the one used during compression. Prefix is only used once. Reference is discarded at end of frame. End of frame is reached when ZSTD_decompressStream() returns 0. @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 decompression. Prefix buffer must remain unmodified up to the end of frame, reached when ZSTD_decompressStream() returns 0. Note 3 : By default, the prefix is treated as raw content (ZSTD_dm_rawContent). Use ZSTD_CCtx_refPrefix_advanced() to alter dictMode (Experimental section) Note 4 : Referencing a raw content prefix has almost no cpu nor memory cost. A full dictionary is more costly, as it requires building tables.

ZSTD_DCtx_reset

ZSTD_DCtx_reset() : Return a DCtx to clean state. Session and parameters can be reset jointly or separately. Parameters can only be reset when no active frame is being decompressed. @return : 0, or an error code, which can be tested with ZSTD_isError()

ZSTD_DCtx_setParameter

ZSTD_DCtx_setParameter() : Set one compression parameter, selected by enum ZSTD_dParameter. All parameters have valid bounds. Bounds can be queried using ZSTD_dParam_getBounds(). Providing a value beyond bound will either clamp it, or trigger an error (depending on parameter). Setting a parameter is only possible during frame initialization (before starting decompression). @return : 0, or an error code (which can be tested using ZSTD_isError()).

ZSTD_DStreamInSize
ZSTD_DStreamOutSize
ZSTD_cParam_getBounds

ZSTD_cParam_getBounds() : All parameters must belong to an interval with lower and upper bounds, otherwise they will either trigger an error or be automatically clamped. @return : a structure, ZSTD_bounds, which contains - an error status field, which must be tested using ZSTD_isError() - lower and upper bounds, both inclusive

ZSTD_compress

Simple API 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_compress2

ZSTD_compress2() : Behave the same as ZSTD_compressCCtx(), but compression parameters are set using the advanced API. ZSTD_compress2() always starts a new frame. Should cctx hold data from a previously unfinished frame, everything about it is forgotten.

ZSTD_compressBound
ZSTD_compressCCtx

ZSTD_compressCCtx() : Same as ZSTD_compress(), using an explicit ZSTD_CCtx The function will compress at requested compression level, ignoring any other parameter

ZSTD_compressStream

Alternative for ZSTD_compressStream2(zcs, output, input, ZSTD_e_continue). NOTE: The return value is different. ZSTD_compressStream() returns a hint for the next read size (if non-zero and not an error). ZSTD_compressStream2() returns the minimum nb of bytes left to flush (if non-zero and not an error).

ZSTD_compressStream2

ZSTD_compressStream2() : Behaves about the same as ZSTD_compressStream, with additional control on end directive.

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict

ZSTD_compress_usingCDict() : Compression using a digested Dictionary. Recommended when same dictionary is used multiple times. Note : compression level is decided at dictionary creation time, and frame parameters are hardcoded (dictID=yes, contentSize=yes, checksum=no)

ZSTD_compress_usingDict

Simple dictionary API Compression at an explicit compression level using a Dictionary. A dictionary can be any arbitrary data segment (also called a prefix), or a buffer with specified information (see dictBuilder/zdict.h). Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. It's intended for a dictionary used only once. Note 2 : When dict == NULL || dictSize < 8 no dictionary is used.

ZSTD_createCCtx
ZSTD_createCDict

ZSTD_createCDict() : When compressing multiple messages / blocks using the same dictionary, it's recommended to load it only once. ZSTD_createCDict() will create a digested dictionary, ready to start future compression operations without startup cost. 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, because its content is copied within CDict. Consider experimental function ZSTD_createCDict_byReference() if you prefer to not duplicate dictBuffer content. Note : A ZSTD_CDict can be created from an empty dictBuffer, but it is inefficient when used to compress small data.

ZSTD_createCStream
ZSTD_createDCtx
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_createDStream
ZSTD_dParam_getBounds

ZSTD_dParam_getBounds() : All parameters must belong to an interval with lower and upper bounds, otherwise they will either trigger an error or be automatically clamped. @return : a structure, ZSTD_bounds, which contains - an error status field, which must be tested using ZSTD_isError() - both lower and upper bounds, inclusive

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_decompressDCtx

ZSTD_decompressDCtx() : Same as ZSTD_decompress(), requires an allocated ZSTD_DCtx. Compatible with sticky parameters.

ZSTD_decompressStream
ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict

ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict() : Decompression using a digested Dictionary. Recommended when same dictionary is used multiple times.

ZSTD_decompress_usingDict

ZSTD_decompress_usingDict() : Decompression using a known Dictionary. Dictionary must be identical to the one used during compression. Note : This function loads the dictionary, resulting in significant startup delay. It's intended for a dictionary used only once. Note : When dict == NULL || dictSize < 8 no dictionary is used.

ZSTD_endStream

Equivalent to ZSTD_compressStream2(zcs, output, &emptyInput, ZSTD_e_end).

ZSTD_findFrameCompressedSize

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

ZSTD_flushStream

Equivalent to ZSTD_compressStream2(zcs, output, &emptyInput, ZSTD_e_flush).

ZSTD_freeCCtx
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_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 to the same return value (0), while ZSTD_getFrameContentSize() gives them separate return values. @return : decompressed size of src frame content if known and not empty, 0 otherwise.

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 :

ZSTD_getErrorName
ZSTD_getFrameContentSize
ZSTD_initCStream

Equivalent to:

ZSTD_initDStream
ZSTD_isError
ZSTD_maxCLevel
ZSTD_minCLevel
ZSTD_sizeof_CCtx

ZSTD_sizeof_*() : These functions give the current memory usage of selected object. Note that object memory usage can evolve (increase or decrease) over time.
