+</b><p> The first thing to do is to create a compressionContext object,

This is achieved using LZ4F_createCompressionContext(), which takes as argument a version.
The version provided MUST be LZ4F_VERSION. It is intended to track potential version mismatch, notably when using DLL.
The function will provide a pointer to a fully allocated LZ4F_cctx object.
- If @return != zero, there was an error during context creation.
- Object can be released using LZ4F_freeCompressionContext();
- Note: LZ4F_freeCompressionContext() works with NULL pointers (do nothing).
+ If @return != zero, there context creation failed.
+ Once all streaming compression jobs are completed,
+ the state object can be released using LZ4F_freeCompressionContext().
+ Note1 : LZ4F_freeCompressionContext() is always successful. Its return value can be ignored.
+ Note2 : LZ4F_freeCompressionContext() works fine with NULL input pointers (do nothing).
