Simple compression : Compress a single file. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_compress()
Simple decompression : Decompress a single file. Only compatible with simple compression. Result remains in memory. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_decompress()
Streaming memory usage : Provides amount of memory used by streaming context Introduces usage of : ZSTD_sizeof_CStream()
Streaming compression : Compress a single file. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_compressStream()
Multiple Streaming compression : Compress multiple files in a single command line. Introduces memory usage preservation technique, reducing impact of malloc()/free() and memset() by re-using existing resources.
Streaming decompression : Decompress a single file compressed by zstd. Compatible with both simple and streaming compression. Result is sent to stdout. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_decompressStream()
Dictionary compression : Compress multiple files using the same dictionary. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_createCDict()
and ZSTD_compress_usingCDict()
Dictionary decompression : Decompress multiple files using the same dictionary. Result remains in memory. Introduces usage of : ZSTD_createDDict()
and ZSTD_decompress_usingDDict()
