#define LZMA_PRESET_DEFAULT UINT32_C(6) |
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_LEVEL_MASK UINT32_C(0x1F) |
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_EXTREME (UINT32_C(1) << 31) |
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 (0-4 or so).
#define LZMA_TELL_NO_CHECK UINT32_C(0x01) |
This flag makes lzma_code() return LZMA_NO_CHECK if the input stream being decoded has no integrity check. Note that when used with lzma_auto_decoder(), all .lzma files will trigger LZMA_NO_CHECK if LZMA_TELL_NO_CHECK is used.
#define LZMA_TELL_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK UINT32_C(0x02) |
This flag makes lzma_code() return LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK if the input stream has an integrity check, but the type of the integrity check is not supported by this liblzma version or build. Such files can still be decoded, but the integrity check cannot be verified.
#define LZMA_TELL_ANY_CHECK UINT32_C(0x04) |
This flag makes lzma_code() return LZMA_GET_CHECK as soon as the type of the integrity check is known. The type can then be got with lzma_get_check().
#define LZMA_CONCATENATED UINT32_C(0x08) |
This flag enables decoding of concatenated files with file formats that allow concatenating compressed files as is. From the formats currently supported by liblzma, only the .xz format allows concatenated files. Concatenated files are not allowed with the legacy .lzma format.
This flag also affects the usage of the `action' argument for lzma_code(). When LZMA_CONCATENATED is used, lzma_code() won't return LZMA_STREAM_END unless LZMA_FINISH is used as `action'. Thus, the application has to set LZMA_FINISH in the same way as it does when encoding.
If LZMA_CONCATENATED is not used, the decoders still accept LZMA_FINISH as `action' for lzma_code(), but the usage of LZMA_FINISH isn't required.
LZMA_API | ( | uint64_t | ) |
Calculate rough memory usage of easy encoder.
Calculate rough decoder memory usage of a preset.
This function is a wrapper for lzma_raw_encoder_memusage().
preset | Compression preset (level and possible flags) |
This function is a wrapper for lzma_raw_decoder_memusage().
preset | Compression preset (level and possible flags) |
LZMA_API | ( | lzma_ret | ) |
Initialize .xz Stream encoder using a preset number.
Single-call .xz Stream decoder.
Initialize .lzma decoder (legacy file format).
Decode .xz Streams and .lzma files with autodetection.
Initialize .xz Stream decoder.
Single-call Stream encoder.
Initialize .lzma encoder (legacy file format).
Initialize .xz Stream encoder using a custom filter chain.
This function is intended for those who just want to use the basic features if liblzma (that is, most developers out there).
strm | Pointer to lzma_stream that is at least initialized with LZMA_STREAM_INIT. | |
preset | Compression preset to use. A preset consist of level number and zero or more flags. Usually flags aren't used, so preset is simply a number [0, 9] which match the options -0 .. -9 of the xz command line tool. Additional flags can be be set using bitwise-or with the preset level number, e.g. 6 | LZMA_PRESET_EXTREME. | |
check | Integrity check type to use. See check.h for available checks. If you are unsure, use LZMA_CHECK_CRC32. |
If initialization succeeds, use lzma_code() to do the actual encoding. Valid values for `action' (the second argument of lzma_code()) are LZMA_RUN, LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH, LZMA_FULL_FLUSH, and LZMA_FINISH. In future, there may be compression levels or flags that don't support LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH.
strm | Pointer to properly prepared lzma_stream | |
filters | Array of filters. This must be terminated with filters[n].id = LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN. See filter.h for more information. | |
check | Type of the integrity check to calculate from uncompressed data. |
The .lzma format is sometimes called the LZMA_Alone format, which is the reason for the name of this function. The .lzma format supports only the LZMA1 filter. There is no support for integrity checks like CRC32.
Use this function if and only if you need to create files readable by legacy LZMA tools such as LZMA Utils 4.32.x. Moving to the .xz format is strongly recommended.
The valid action values for lzma_code() are LZMA_RUN and LZMA_FINISH. No kind of flushing is supported, because the file format doesn't make it possible.
filters | Array of filters. This must be terminated with filters[n].id = LZMA_VLI_UNKNOWN. See filter.h for more information. | |
check | Type of the integrity check to calculate from uncompressed data. | |
allocator | lzma_allocator for custom allocator functions. Set to NULL to use malloc() and free(). | |
in | Beginning of the input buffer | |
in_size | Size of the input buffer | |
out | Beginning of the output buffer | |
out_pos | The next byte will be written to out[*out_pos]. *out_pos is updated only if encoding succeeds. | |
out_size | Size of the out buffer; the first byte into which no data is written to is out[out_size]. |
strm | Pointer to properly prepared lzma_stream | |
memlimit | Rough memory usage limit as bytes | |
flags | Bitwise-or of zero or more of the decoder flags: LZMA_TELL_NO_CHECK, LZMA_TELL_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK, LZMA_TELL_ANY_CHECK, LZMA_CONCATENATED |
This decoder autodetects between the .xz and .lzma file formats, and calls lzma_stream_decoder() or lzma_alone_decoder() once the type of the input file has been detected.
strm | Pointer to properly prepared lzma_stream | |
memlimit | Rough memory usage limit as bytes | |
flags | Bitwise-or of flags, or zero for no flags. |
Valid `action' arguments to lzma_code() are LZMA_RUN and LZMA_FINISH. There is no need to use LZMA_FINISH, but allowing it may simplify certain types of applications.
memlimit | Pointer to how much memory the decoder is allowed to allocate. The value pointed by this pointer is modified if and only if LZMA_MEMLIMIT_ERROR is returned. | |
flags | Bitwise-or of zero or more of the decoder flags: LZMA_TELL_NO_CHECK, LZMA_TELL_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK, LZMA_CONCATENATED. Note that LZMA_TELL_ANY_CHECK is not allowed and will return LZMA_PROG_ERROR. | |
allocator | lzma_allocator for custom allocator functions. Set to NULL to use malloc() and free(). | |
in | Beginning of the input buffer | |
in_pos | The next byte will be read from in[*in_pos]. *in_pos is updated only if decoding succeeds. | |
in_size | Size of the input buffer; the first byte that won't be read is in[in_size]. | |
out | Beginning of the output buffer | |
out_pos | The next byte will be written to out[*out_pos]. *out_pos is updated only if encoding succeeds. | |
out_size | Size of the out buffer; the first byte into which no data is written to is out[out_size]. |
LZMA_API | ( | size_t | ) |
Calculate output buffer size for single-call Stream encoder.
When trying to compress uncompressible data, the encoded size will be 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.
The calculated value is not exact, but it is guaranteed to be big enough. The actual maximum output space required may be slightly smaller (up to about 100 bytes). This should not be a problem in practice.
If the calculated maximum size doesn't fit into size_t or would make the Stream grow past LZMA_VLI_MAX (which should never happen in practice), zero is returned to indicate the error.
Calculate output buffer size for single-call Stream encoder.
This is equivalent to lzma_stream_buffer_bound() but for .xz Blocks. See the documentation of lzma_stream_buffer_bound().
