 LZ4 - Library Files

 #### Minimal LZ4 build
 
 The minimum required is **`lz4.c`** and **`lz4.h`**,

+In order to produce compressed data compatible with `lz4` command line utility,
 it's necessary to encode lz4-compressed blocks using the [official interoperable frame format].
 This format is generated and decoded automatically by the **lz4frame** library.
-In order to work properly, lz4frame needs lz4 and lz4hc, and also **xxhash**,
-which provides error detection.
-(_Advanced stuff_ : It's possible to hide xxhash symbols into a local namespace.
-This is what `liblz4` does, to avoid symbol duplication
-in case a user program would link to several libraries containing xxhash symbols.)
+Its public API is described in `lib/lz4frame.h`.
+In order to work properly, lz4frame needs all other modules present in `/lib`,
+including, lz4 and lz4hc, and also **xxhash**.
+So it's necessary to include all `*.c` and `*.h` files present in `/lib`.
