77LZ4_compress_limitedOutput() :
78    Compresses 'sourceSize' bytes from buffer 'source'
79    into already allocated 'dest' of size 'maxOutputSize'.
80    Compression runs faster when 'maxOutputSize' >= LZ4_compressBound(sourceSize).
81    That's because in such case, it is guaranteed to compress within 'dest' budget, even in worst case scenario.
82    Compressing into a more limited space budget requires additional checks.
83    If the function cannot compress 'source' into a limited 'dest' budget,
84    compression stops *immediately*, and result of the function is zero.
85    It greatly accelerates behavior on non-compressible input, but as a consequence, 'dest' content is not valid either.
86    This function never writes outside 'dest' buffer, nor read outside 'source' buffer.
87        sourceSize  : Max supported value is LZ4_MAX_INPUT_VALUE
88        maxDestSize : full or partial size of buffer 'dest' (which must be already allocated)
89        return : the number of bytes written into buffer 'dest' (necessarily <= maxOutputSize)
90             or 0 if compression fails
91
92LZ4_decompress_safe() :
93    compressedSize : is obviously the source size
94    maxDecompressedSize : is the size of the destination buffer, which must be already allocated.
95    return : the number of bytes decompressed into the destination buffer (necessarily <= maxDecompressedSize)
96             If the destination buffer is not large enough, decoding will stop and output an error code (<0).
97             If the source stream is detected malformed, the function will stop decoding and return a negative result.
98             This function is protected against buffer overflow exploits, including malicious data packets.
99             It never writes outside of output buffer, nor reads outside of input buffer.
