58  * If the output buffer is not large enough or any error occurs return 0,
59  * otherwise return the number of bytes used, which might be considerably
60  * more than in_len (but less than 104% of the original size), so it
61  * makes sense to always use out_len == in_len - 1), to ensure _some_

65  * lzf_compress might use different algorithms on different systems and
66  * even different runs, thus might result in different compressed strings
67  * depending on the phase of the moon or similar factors. However, all

74  * compile-time constant: one took a 64K state structure as an
75  * argument, the other allocated it internally on the stack (yuck).
76  *
77  * We define the stack-unfriendly version in terms of the stack-friendly
78  * one.
