58 * Compress in_len bytes stored at the memory block starting at
59 * in_data and write the result to out_data, up to a maximum length
60 * of out_len bytes.
61 *
62 * If the output buffer is not large enough or any error occurs
63 * return 0, otherwise return the number of bytes used (which might
64 * be considerably larger than in_len, so it makes sense to always
65 * use out_len == in_len - 1), to ensure _some_ compression, and store
66 * the data uncompressed otherwise.
67 *
68 * lzf_compress might use different algorithms on different systems and
69 * even diferent 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.
75 *
76 * If the option LZF_STATE_ARG is enabled, an extra argument must be
77 * supplied which is not reflected in this header file. Refer to lzfP.h
78 * and lzf_c.c.
