/* This header file defines the interface to a set of functions called */

/* Normally in C programming, for each .H file, there is a corresponding .C */
/* file that implements the functions promised in the .H file. */
/* Here, there are many .C files corresponding to this header file. */
/* Each comforming implementation file contains a single function */
/* called 'compress' that implements a single data compression */
/* algorithm that conforms with the interface specified in this header file. */
/* Only one algorithm can be linked in at a time in this organization. */

/* DEFINITION OF FUNCTION COMPRESS */
/* =============================== */
/* */
/* Summary of Function Compress */
/* ---------------------------- */
/* The action that 'compress' takes depends on its first argument called */
/* 'action'. The function provides three actions: */
/* */
/* - Return information about the algorithm. */
/* - Compress a block of memory. */
/* - Decompress a block of memory. */
/* */
/* Parameters */
/* ---------- */
/* See the formal C definition later for a description of the parameters. */
/* */
/* Constants */
/* --------- */
/* COMPRESS_OVERRUN: The constant COMPRESS_OVERRUN defines by how many bytes */
/* an algorithm is allowed to expand a block during a compression operation. */
/* */
/* Although compression algorithms usually compress data, there will always */
/* be data that a given compressor will expand (this can be proven). */
/* Fortunately, the degree of expansion can be limited to a single bit, by */
/* copying over the input data if the data gets bigger during compression. */
/* To allow for this possibility, the first bit of a compressed */
/* representation can be used as a flag indicating whether the */
/* input data was copied over, or truly compressed. In practice, the first */
/* byte would be used to store this bit so as to maintain byte alignment. */
/* */
/* Unfortunately, in general, the only way to tell if an algorithm will */
/* expand a particular block of data is to run the algorithm on the data. */
/* If the algorithm does not continuously monitor how many output bytes it */
/* has written, it might write an output block far larger than the input */
/* block before realizing that it has done so. */
/* On the other hand, continuous checks on output length are inefficient. */
/* */
/* To cater for all these problems, this interface definition: */
/* > Allows a compression algorithm to return an output block that is up to */
/* COMPRESS_OVERRUN bytes longer than the input block. */
/* > Allows a compression algorithm to write up to COMPRESS_OVERRUN bytes */
/* more than the length of the input block to the memory of the output */
/* block regardless of the length of the output block eventually returned. */
/* This allows an algorithm to overrun the length of the input block in the */
/* output block by up to COMPRESS_OVERRUN bytes between expansion checks. */
/* */
/* The problem does not arise for decompression. */
/* */
/* Identity Action */
/* --------------- */
/* > action must be COMPRESS_ACTION_IDENTITY. */
/* > p_dst_len must point to a longword to receive a longword address. */
/* > The value of the other parameters does not matter. */
/* > After execution, the longword that p_dst_len points to will be a pointer */
/* to a structure of type compress_identity. */
/* Thus, for example, after the call, (*p_dst_len)->memory will return the */
/* number of bytes of working memory that the algorithm requires to run. */
/* > The values of the identity structure returned are fixed constant */
/* attributes of the algorithm and must not vary from call to call. */
/* */
/* Common Requirements for Compression and Decompression Actions */
/* ------------------------------------------------------------- */
/* > wrk_mem must point to an unused block of memory of a length specified in */
/* the algorithm's identity block. The identity block can be obtained by */
/* making a separate call to compress, specifying the identity action. */
/* > The INPUT BLOCK is defined to be Memory[src_addr,src_addr+src_len-1]. */
/* > dst_len will be used to denote *p_dst_len. */
/* > dst_len is not read by compress, only written. */
/* > The value of dst_len is defined only upon termination. */
/* > The OUTPUT BLOCK is defined to be Memory[dst_addr,dst_addr+dst_len-1]. */
/* */
/* Compression Action */
/* ------------------ */
/* > action must be COMPRESS_ACTION_COMPRESS. */
/* > src_len must be in the range [0,COMPRESS_MAX_ORG]. */
/* > The OUTPUT ZONE is defined to be */
/* Memory[dst_addr,dst_addr+src_len-1+COMPRESS_OVERRUN]. */
/* > The function can modify any part of the output zone regardless of the */
/* final length of the output block. */
/* > The input block and the output zone must not overlap. */
/* > dst_len will be in the range [0,src_len+COMPRESS_OVERRUN]. */
/* > dst_len will be in the range [0,COMPRESS_MAX_COM] (from prev fact). */
/* > The output block will consist of a representation of the input block. */
/* */
/* Decompression Action */
/* -------------------- */
/* > action must be COMPRESS_ACTION_DECOMPRESS. */
/* > The input block must be the result of an earlier compression operation. */
/* > If the previous fact is true, the following facts must also be true: */
/* > src_len will be in the range [0,COMPRESS_MAX_COM]. */
/* > dst_len will be in the range [0,COMPRESS_MAX_ORG]. */
/* > The input and output blocks must not overlap. */
/* > Only the output block is modified. */
/* > Upon termination, the output block will consist of the bytes contained */
/* in the input block passed to the earlier compression operation. */
