61 * If the output buffer is not large enough or any error occurs return 0,
62 * otherwise return the number of bytes used, which might be considerably
63 * more than in_len (but less than 1 + 104% of the original size), so it
64 * makes sense to always use out_len == in_len - 1), to ensure _some_
65 * compression, and store the data uncompressed otherwise (with a flag, of

68 * lzf_compress might use different algorithms on different systems and
69 * even different runs, thus might result in different compressed strings
70 * depending on the phase of the moon or similar factors. However, all
71 * these strings are architecture-independent and will result in the
72 * original data when decompressed using lzf_decompress.
73 *
74 * The buffers must not be overlapping.

76 * If the option LZF_STATE_ARG is enabled, an extra argument must be
