* 7-Zip, and LZMA SDK. It's called LZMA1 here to prevent developers from
* accidentally using LZMA when they actually want LZMA2.
*
* LZMA1 shouldn't be used for new applications unless you _really_ know
* what you are doing. LZMA2 is almost always a better choice.

* support for LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH, uncompressed chunks (smaller expansion

* lc/lp/pb in the middle of encoding, and some other internal improvements.

* \brief Dictionary size in bytes

* the uncompressed data is to store distance-length pairs, which
* indicate what data to repeat from the dictionary buffer. Thus,
* the bigger the dictionary, the better the compression ratio
* usually is.
*
* Maximum size of the dictionary depends on multiple things:
* - Memory usage limit
* - Available address space (not a problem on 64-bit systems)
* - Selected match finder (encoder only)
*
* Currently the maximum dictionary size for encoding is 1.5 GiB
* (i.e. (UINT32_C(1) << 30) + (UINT32_C(1) << 29)) even on 64-bit
* systems for certain match finder implementation reasons. In the
* future, there may be match finders that support bigger
* dictionaries.
*
* Decoder already supports dictionaries up to 4 GiB - 1 B (i.e.
* UINT32_MAX), so increasing the maximum dictionary size of the
* encoder won't cause problems for old decoders.
*
* Because extremely small dictionaries sizes would have unneeded
* overhead in the decoder, the minimum dictionary size is 4096 bytes.
*
* \note When decoding, too big dictionary does no other harm
* than wasting memory.

* \brief Pointer to an initial dictionary

* similar, relatively small chunks of data independently from
* each other. The preset dictionary should contain typical
* strings that occur in the files being compressed. The most
* probable strings should be near the end of the preset dictionary.
*
* This feature should be used only in special situations. For
* now, it works correctly only with raw encoding and decoding.
* Currently none of the container formats supported by
* liblzma allow preset dictionary when decoding, thus if
* you create a .xz or .lzma file with preset dictionary, it
* cannot be decoded with the regular decoder functions. In the

* \brief Maximum search depth in the match finder
*

* the chain or tree. The searching stops if
* - a match of at least nice_len bytes long is found;
* - all match candidates from the hash chain or binary tree have
* been checked; or
* - maximum search depth is reached.
*
* Maximum search depth is needed to prevent the match finder from
* wasting too much time in case there are lots of short match
* candidates. On the other hand, stopping the search before all
* candidates have been checked can reduce compression ratio.
*
* Setting depth to zero tells liblzma to use an automatic default
* value, that depends on the selected match finder and nice_len.
* The default is in the range [10, 200] or so (it may vary between
* liblzma versions).
*
* Using a bigger depth value than the default can increase
* compression ratio in some cases. There is no strict maximum value,
* but high values (thousands or millions) should be used with care:
* the encoder could remain fast enough with typical input, but
* malicious input could cause the match finder to slow down
* dramatically, possibly creating a denial of service attack.
