Process input\&. Encoder may postpone producing output, until it has processed enough input\&. 
.TP
\fB\fIBROTLI_OPERATION_FLUSH \fP\fP
Produce output for all processed input\&. Actual flush is performed when input stream is depleted and there is enough space in output stream\&. This means that client should repeat \fBBROTLI_OPERATION_FLUSH\fP operation until \fCavailable_in\fP becomes \fC0\fP, and \fBBrotliEncoderHasMoreOutput\fP returns \fBBROTLI_FALSE\fP\&.

Finalize the stream\&. Actual finalization is performed when input stream is depleted and there is enough space in output stream\&. This means that client should repeat \fBBROTLI_OPERATION_FINISH\fP operation until \fCavailable_in\fP becomes \fC0\fP, and \fBBrotliEncoderHasMoreOutput\fP returns \fBBROTLI_FALSE\fP\&.

.PP
Adding more input data to finalized stream is impossible\&. 
.TP
\fB\fIBROTLI_OPERATION_EMIT_METADATA \fP\fP
Emit metadata block to stream\&. Metadata is opaque to Brotli: neither encoder, nor decoder processes this data or relies on it\&. It may be used to pass some extra information from encoder client to decoder client without interfering with main data stream\&.
.PP
\fBNote:\fP

Encoder may emit empty metadata blocks internally, to pad encoded stream to byte boundary\&.

.PP
Compresses input stream to output stream\&. The values \fC*available_in\fP and \fC*available_out\fP must specify the number of bytes addressable at \fC*next_in\fP and \fC*next_out\fP respectively\&. When \fC*available_out\fP is \fC0\fP, \fCnext_out\fP is allowed to be \fCNULL\fP\&.

After each call, \fC*available_in\fP will be decremented by the amount of input bytes consumed, and the \fC*next_in\fP pointer will be incremented by that amount\&.

Internally workflow consists of 3 tasks:
.IP "1." 4
(optionally) copy input data to internal buffer
.IP "2." 4
actually compress data and (optionally) store it to internal buffer
.IP "3." 4
(optionally) copy compressed bytes from internal buffer to output stream
.PP
.PP
Whenever all 3 tasks can't move forward anymore, or error occurs, this method returns the control flow to caller\&.
.PP
\fCop\fP is used to perform flush, finish the stream, or inject metadata block\&. See \fBBrotliEncoderOperation\fP for more information\&.
.PP
Flushing the stream means forcing encoding of all input passed to encoder and completing the current output block, so it could be fully decoded by stream decoder\&. To perform flush set \fCop\fP to \fBBROTLI_OPERATION_FLUSH\fP\&. Under some circumstances (e\&.g\&. lack of output stream capacity) this operation would require several calls to \fBBrotliEncoderCompressStream\fP\&. The method must be called again until both input stream is depleted and encoder has no more output (see \fBBrotliEncoderHasMoreOutput\fP) after the method is called\&.
.PP
Finishing the stream means encoding of all input passed to encoder and adding specific 'final' marks, so stream decoder could determine that stream is complete\&. To perform finish set \fCop\fP to \fBBROTLI_OPERATION_FINISH\fP\&. Under some circumstances (e\&.g\&. lack of output stream capacity) this operation would require several calls to \fBBrotliEncoderCompressStream\fP\&. The method must be called again until both input stream is depleted and encoder has no more output (see \fBBrotliEncoderHasMoreOutput\fP) after the method is called\&.
