   Introduction
 
-  LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed at 400 MB/s per core,
+  LZ4 is lossless compression algorithm, providing compression speed >500 MB/s per core,
   scalable with multi-cores CPU. It features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in
   multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on multi-core systems.
 
   The LZ4 compression library provides in-memory compression and decompression functions.
+  It gives full buffer control to user.
   Compression can be done in:
     - a single step (described as Simple Functions)
     - a single step, reusing a context (described in Advanced Functions)
     - unbounded multiple steps (described as Streaming compression)
 
-  lz4.h provides block compression functions. It gives full buffer control to user.
-  Decompressing an lz4-compressed block also requires metadata (such as compressed size).
-  Each application is free to encode such metadata in whichever way it wants.
+  lz4.h generates and decodes LZ4-compressed blocks (doc/lz4_Block_format.md).
+  Decompressing such a compressed block requires additional metadata.
+  Exact metadata depends on exact decompression function.
+  For the typical case of LZ4_decompress_safe(),
+  metadata includes block's compressed size, and maximum bound of decompressed size.
+  Each application is free to encode and pass such metadata in whichever way it wants.
+
+  lz4.h only handle blocks, it can not generate Frames.
 
-  An additional format, called LZ4 frame specification (doc/lz4_Frame_format.md),
-  take care of encoding standard metadata alongside LZ4-compressed blocks.
-  If your application requires interoperability, it's recommended to use it.
-  A library is provided to take care of it, see lz4frame.h.
+  Blocks are different from Frames (doc/lz4_Frame_format.md).
+  Frames bundle both blocks and metadata in a specified manner.
+  Embedding metadata is required for compressed data to be self-contained and portable.
+  Frame format is delivered through a companion API, declared in lz4frame.h.
+  The `lz4` CLI can only manage frames.

+ *
+ * It's possible to have input and output sharing the same buffer,
+ * for highly contrained memory environments.
+ * In both cases, it requires input to lay at the end of the buffer,
+ * and decompression to start at beginning of the buffer.
+ * Buffer size must feature some margin, hence be larger than final size.
+ *
+ * |<------------------------buffer--------------------------------->|
+ *                             |<-----------compressed data--------->|

+ *                                                  |<----margin---->|
+ *
+ * This technique is more useful for decompression,
+ * since decompressed size is typically larger,
+ * and margin is short.
+ *
+ * In-place decompression will work inside any buffer
+ * which size is >= LZ4_DECOMPRESS_INPLACE_BUFFER_SIZE(decompressedSize).
+ * This presumes that decompressedSize > compressedSize.
+ * Otherwise, it means compression actually expanded data,
+ * and it would be more efficient to store such data with a flag indicating it's not compressed.
+ * This can happen when data is not compressible (already compressed, or encrypted).
+ *
+ * For in-place compression, margin is larger, as it must be able to cope with both
+ * history preservation, requiring input data to remain unmodified up to LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX,
+ * and data expansion, which can happen when input is not compressible.
+ * As a consequence, buffer size requirements are much higher,
+ * and memory savings offered by in-place compression are more limited.
+ *
+ * There are ways to limit this cost for compression :
+ * - Reduce history size, by modifying LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX.
+ *   Note that it is a compile-time constant, so all compressions will apply this limit.
+ *   Lower values will reduce compression ratio, except when input_size < LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX,
+ *   so it's a reasonable trick when inputs are known to be small.
+ * - Require the compressor to deliver a "maximum compressed size".
+ *   This is the `dstCapacity` parameter in `LZ4_compress*()`.
+ *   When this size is < LZ4_COMPRESSBOUND(inputSize), then compression can fail,
+ *   in which case, the return code will be 0 (zero).
+ *   The caller must be ready for these cases to happen,
+ *   and typically design a backup scheme to send data uncompressed.
+ * The combination of both techniques can significantly reduce
+ * the amount of margin required for in-place compression.
+ *
+ * In-place compression can work in any buffer
+ * which size is >= (maxCompressedSize)
+ * with maxCompressedSize == LZ4_COMPRESSBOUND(srcSize) for guaranteed compression success.
+ * LZ4_COMPRESS_INPLACE_BUFFER_SIZE() depends on both maxCompressedSize and LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX,
+ * so it's possible to reduce memory requirements by playing with them.

+/*! LZ4_decompress_fast() : **unsafe!**
+ *  These functions used to be faster than LZ4_decompress_safe(),
+ *  but it has changed, and they are now slower than LZ4_decompress_safe().
+ *  This is because LZ4_decompress_fast() doesn't know the input size,
+ *  and therefore must progress more cautiously in the input buffer to not read beyond the end of block.
+ *  On top of that `LZ4_decompress_fast()` is not protected vs malformed or malicious inputs, making it a security liability.
+ *  As a consequence, LZ4_decompress_fast() is strongly discouraged, and deprecated.
+ *
+ *  The last remaining LZ4_decompress_fast() specificity is that
+ *  it can decompress a block without knowing its compressed size.
+ *  Such functionality could be achieved in a more secure manner,
+ *  by also providing the maximum size of input buffer,
+ *  but it would require new prototypes, and adaptation of the implementation to this new use case.
+ *
+ *  Parameters:
+ *  originalSize : is the uncompressed size to regenerate.
+ *                 `dst` must be already allocated, its size must be >= 'originalSize' bytes.
+ * @return : number of bytes read from source buffer (== compressed size).
+ *           The function expects to finish at block's end exactly.
+ *           If the source stream is detected malformed, the function stops decoding and returns a negative result.
+ *  note : LZ4_decompress_fast*() requires originalSize. Thanks to this information, it never writes past the output buffer.
+ *         However, since it doesn't know its 'src' size, it may read an unknown amount of input, past input buffer bounds.
+ *         Also, since match offsets are not validated, match reads from 'src' may underflow too.
+ *         These issues never happen if input (compressed) data is correct.
+ *         But they may happen if input data is invalid (error or intentional tampering).
+ *         As a consequence, use these functions in trusted environments with trusted data **only**.
