* \brief Default compression preset
* It's not straightforward to recommend a default preset, because in some
* cases keeping the resource usage relatively low is more important that
* getting the maximum compression ratio.
#define LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT UINT32_C(6)
* \brief Mask for preset level
* This is useful only if you need to extract the level from the preset
* variable. That should be rare.
#define LZMA_PRESET_LEVEL_MASK UINT32_C(0x1F)
* Currently only one flag is defined.
* \brief Extreme compression preset
* This flag modifies the preset to make the encoding significantly slower
* while improving the compression ratio only marginally. This is useful
* when you don't mind wasting time to get as small result as possible.
* This flag doesn't affect the memory usage requirements of the decoder (at
* least not significantly). The memory usage of the encoder may be increased
* a little but only at the lowest preset levels (0-3).
#define LZMA_PRESET_EXTREME (UINT32_C(1) << 31)
* \brief Multithreading options
* Set this to zero if no flags are wanted.
* No flags are currently supported.
* \brief Number of worker threads to use
* \brief Maximum uncompressed size of a Block
* The encoder will start a new .xz Block every block_size bytes.
* Using LZMA_FULL_FLUSH or LZMA_FULL_BARRIER with lzma_code()
* the caller may tell liblzma to start a new Block earlier.
* With LZMA2, a recommended block size is 2-4 times the LZMA2
* dictionary size. With very small dictionaries, it is recommended
* to use at least 1 MiB block size for good compression ratio, even
* if this is more than four times the dictionary size. Note that
* these are only recommendations for typical use cases; feel free
* to use other values. Just keep in mind that using a block size
* less than the LZMA2 dictionary size is waste of RAM.
* Set this to 0 to let liblzma choose the block size depending
* on the compression options. For LZMA2 it will be 3*dict_size
* or 1 MiB, whichever is more.
* For each thread, about 3 * block_size bytes of memory will be
* allocated. This may change in later liblzma versions. If so,
* the memory usage will probably be reduced, not increased.
* \brief Timeout to allow lzma_code() to return early
* Multithreading can make liblzma to consume input and produce
* output in a very bursty way: it may first read a lot of input
* to fill internal buffers, then no input or output occurs for
* In single-threaded mode, lzma_code() won't return until it has
* either consumed all the input or filled the output buffer. If
* this is done in multithreaded mode, it may cause a call
* lzma_code() to take even tens of seconds, which isn't acceptable
* To avoid very long blocking times in lzma_code(), a timeout
* (in milliseconds) may be set here. If lzma_code() would block
* longer than this number of milliseconds, it will return with
* LZMA_OK. Reasonable values are 100 ms or more. The xz command
* If long blocking times are fine for you, set timeout to a special
* value of 0, which will disable the timeout mechanism and will make
* lzma_code() block until all the input is consumed or the output
* buffer has been filled.
* \note Even with a timeout, lzma_code() might sometimes take
* somewhat long time to return. No timing guarantees
* \brief Compression preset (level and possible flags)
* The preset is set just like with lzma_easy_encoder().
* The preset is ignored if filters below is non-NULL.
* \brief Filter chain (alternative to a preset)
* If this is NULL, the preset above is used. Otherwise the preset
* is ignored and the filter chain specified here is used.
const lzma_filter *filters;
* \brief Integrity check type
* See check.h for available checks. The xz command line tool
* defaults to LZMA_CHECK_CRC64, which is a good choice if you
* Reserved space to allow possible future extensions without
* breaking the ABI. You should not touch these, because the names
* of these variables may change. These are and will never be used

* \brief Calculate output buffer size for single-call Stream encoder

* slightly bigger than the input data. This function calculates how much
* output buffer space is required to be sure that lzma_stream_buffer_encode()
* doesn't return LZMA_BUF_ERROR.

* Stream grow past LZMA_VLI_MAX (which should never happen in practice),

* will) have larger maximum expansion when encoding
* uncompressible data. Currently there is no function to
