-* Streaming compression - HowTo
-*
-* A ZSTD_CStream object is required to track streaming operation.
-* Use ZSTD_createCStream() and ZSTD_freeCStream() to create/release resources.
-* ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.
-* It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
-*
-* For parallel execution, use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread.
-*
-* note : since v1.3.0, ZSTD_CStream and ZSTD_CCtx are the same thing.
-*
-* Parameters are sticky : when starting a new compression on the same context,
-* it will re-use the same sticky parameters as previous compression session.
-* When in doubt, it's recommended to fully initialize the context before usage.
-* Use ZSTD_initCStream() to set the parameter to a selected compression level.
-* Use advanced API (ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(), etc.) to set more specific parameters.
-*
-* Use ZSTD_compressStream() as many times as necessary to consume input stream.
-* The function will automatically update both `pos` fields within `input` and `output`.
-* Note that the function may not consume the entire input,
-* for example, because the output buffer is already full,
-* in which case `input.pos < input.size`.
-* The caller must check if input has been entirely consumed.
-* If not, the caller must make some room to receive more compressed data,
-* and then present again remaining input data.
-* @return : a size hint, preferred nb of bytes to use as input for next function call
-* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
-* Note 1 : it's just a hint, to help latency a little, any value will work fine.
-* Note 2 : size hint is guaranteed to be <= ZSTD_CStreamInSize()
-*
-* At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data might remain stuck within internal buffer,
-* using ZSTD_flushStream(). `output->pos` will be updated.
-* Note that, if `output->size` is too small, a single invocation of ZSTD_flushStream() might not be enough (return code > 0).
-* In which case, make some room to receive more compressed data, and call again ZSTD_flushStream().
-* @return : 0 if internal buffers are entirely flushed,
-* >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
-* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
-*
-* ZSTD_endStream() instructs to finish a frame.
-* It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
-* The epilogue is required for decoders to consider a frame completed.
-* flush() operation is the same, and follows same rules as ZSTD_flushStream().
-* @return : 0 if frame fully completed and fully flushed,
-* >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
-* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().

+* Streaming compression - HowTo
+*
+* A ZSTD_CStream object is required to track streaming operation.
+* Use ZSTD_createCStream() and ZSTD_freeCStream() to create/release resources.
+* ZSTD_CStream objects can be reused multiple times on consecutive compression operations.
+* It is recommended to re-use ZSTD_CStream since it will play nicer with system's memory, by re-using already allocated memory.
+*
+* For parallel execution, use one separate ZSTD_CStream per thread.
+*
+* note : since v1.3.0, ZSTD_CStream and ZSTD_CCtx are the same thing.
+*
+* Parameters are sticky : when starting a new compression on the same context,
+* it will re-use the same sticky parameters as previous compression session.
+* When in doubt, it's recommended to fully initialize the context before usage.
+* Use ZSTD_CCtx_reset() to reset the context and ZSTD_CCtx_setParameter(),
+* ZSTD_CCtx_setPledgedSrcSize(), or ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary() and friends to
+* set more specific parameters, the pledged source size, or load a dictionary.
+*
+* Use ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_continue as many times as necessary to
+* consume input stream. The function will automatically update both `pos`
+* fields within `input` and `output`.
+* Note that the function may not consume the entire input, for example, because
+* the output buffer is already full, in which case `input.pos < input.size`.
+* The caller must check if input has been entirely consumed.
+* If not, the caller must make some room to receive more compressed data,
+* and then present again remaining input data.
+* note: ZSTD_e_continue is guaranteed to make some forward progress when called,
+* but doesn't guarantee maximal forward progress. This is especially relevant
+* when compressing with multiple threads. The call won't block if it can
+* consume some input, but if it can't it will wait for some, but not all,
+* output to be flushed.
+* @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().
+*
+* At any moment, it's possible to flush whatever data might remain stuck within internal buffer,
+* using ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush. `output->pos` will be updated.
+* Note that, if `output->size` is too small, a single invocation with ZSTD_e_flush might not be enough (return code > 0).
+* In which case, make some room to receive more compressed data, and call again ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
+* You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush until it returns 0, at which point you can change the
+* operation.
+* note: ZSTD_e_flush will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
+* block until the flush is complete or the output buffer is full.
+* @return : 0 if internal buffers are entirely flushed,
+* >0 if some data still present within internal buffer (the value is minimal estimation of remaining size),
+* or an error code, which can be tested using ZSTD_isError().
+*
+* Calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end instructs to finish a frame.
+* It will perform a flush and write frame epilogue.
+* The epilogue is required for decoders to consider a frame completed.
+* flush operation is the same, and follows same rules as calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_flush.
+* You must continue calling ZSTD_compressStream2() with ZSTD_e_end until it returns 0, at which point you are free to
+* start a new frame.
+* note: ZSTD_e_end will flush as much output as possible, meaning when compressing with multiple threads, it will
