+<pre><b>void LZ4_resetStream_fast (LZ4_stream_t* streamPtr);
+</b><p>  When an LZ4_stream_t is known to be in a internally coherent state,
+  it can often be prepared for a new compression with almost no work, only
+  sometimes falling back to the full, expensive reset that is always required
+  when the stream is in an indeterminate state (i.e., the reset performed by
+  LZ4_resetStream()).
+
+  LZ4_streams are guaranteed to be in a valid state when:
+  - returned from LZ4_createStream()
+  - reset by LZ4_resetStream()
+  - memset(stream, 0, sizeof(LZ4_stream_t))
+  - the stream was in a valid state and was reset by LZ4_resetStream_fast()
+  - the stream was in a valid state and was then used in any compression call
+    that returned success
+  - the stream was in an indeterminate state and was used in a compression
+    call that fully reset the state (LZ4_compress_fast_extState()) and that
+    returned success

+</b><p>  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 above comment on LZ4_resetStream_fast() for a definition of "correctly
+  initialized"). From a high level, the difference is that this function
+  initializes the provided state with a call to LZ4_resetStream_fast() while
+  LZ4_compress_fast_extState() starts with a call to LZ4_resetStream().
+ 
+</p></pre><BR>
+
+<pre><b>void LZ4_attach_dictionary(LZ4_stream_t *working_stream, const LZ4_stream_t *dictionary_stream);
+</b><p>  This is an experimental API that allows for the efficient use of a
+  static dictionary many 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 the dictionary stream in-place.
+
+  Several assumptions are made about the state of the dictionary stream.
+  Currently, only streams which have been prepared by LZ4_loadDict() should
+  be expected to work.
+
+  Alternatively, the provided dictionary stream pointer 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. The dictionary
+  stream (and source buffer) must remain in-place / accessible / unchanged
+  through the completion of the first compression call on the stream.
+

  Do not use these definitions.
  They are exposed to allow static allocation of `LZ4_stream_t` and `LZ4_streamDecode_t`.
  Using these definitions will expose code to API and/or ABI break in future versions of the library.
