LZ4_compress() :

    Compresses 'inputSize' bytes from 'source' into 'dest'.

    Destination buffer must be already allocated,

    and must be sized to handle worst cases situations (input data not compressible)

    Worst case size evaluation is provided by function LZ4_compressBound()

    return : the number of bytes read in the source buffer (in other words, the compressed size)

             If the source stream is malformed, the function will stop decoding and return a negative result, indicating the byte position of the faulty instruction.

    note : This function never writes outside of provided buffers, and never modifies input buffer.

           Destination buffer must be already allocated.

           Its size must be a minimum of 'output_size' bytes.

    Compress 'isize' bytes from 'source' into an output buffer 'dest' of maximum size 'maxOutputSize'.

    If it cannot achieve it, compression will stop, and result of the function will be zero.

    This function never writes outside of provided output buffer.

/*

LZ4_uncompress_unknownOutputSize() :

    isize  : is the input size, therefore the compressed size

    maxOutputSize : is the size of the destination buffer (which must be already allocated)

    return : the number of bytes decoded in the destination buffer (necessarily <= maxOutputSize)

             If the source stream is malformed, the function will stop decoding and return a negative result, indicating the byte position of the faulty instruction

             This function never writes beyond dest + maxOutputSize, and is therefore protected against malicious data packets

    note   : Destination buffer must be already allocated.

             This version is slightly slower than LZ4_uncompress()
