* Compress in_len bytes stored at the memory block starting at
* in_data and write the result to out_data, up to a maximum length
* of out_len bytes.
*
* If the output buffer is not large enough or any error occurs
* return 0, otherwise return the number of bytes used (which might
* be considerably larger than in_len, so it makes sense to always
* use out_len == in_len - 1), to ensure _some_ compression, and store
* the data uncompressed otherwise.
*
* lzf_compress might use different algorithms on different systems and
* even diferent runs, thus might result in different compressed strings
* depending on the phase of the moon or similar factors. However, all
* these strings are architecture-independent and will result in the
* original data when decompressed using lzf_decompress.
*
* The buffers must not be overlapping.
*
* If the option LZF_STATE_ARG is enabled, an extra argument must be
* supplied which is not reflected in this header file. Refer to lzfP.h
* and lzf_c.c.

* Decompress data compressed with some version of the lzf_compress
* function and stored at location in_data and length in_len. The result
* will be stored at out_data up to a maximum of out_len characters.
*
* If the output buffer is not large enough to hold the decompressed
* data, a 0 is returned and errno is set to E2BIG. Otherwise the number
* of decompressed bytes (i.e. the original length of the data) is
* returned.
*
* If an error in the compressed data is detected, a zero is returned and
* errno is set to EINVAL.
*
* This function is very fast, about as fast as a copying loop.
