29 // and a set of flags.
30 //
31 // The memory usage of the decompressor depends on the settings used
32 // to compress a .xz file. It can vary from less than a megabyte to
33 // a few gigabytes, but in practice (at least for now) it rarely
34 // exceeds 65 MiB because that's how much memory is required to
35 // decompress files created with "xz -9". Settings requiring more
36 // memory take extra effort to use and don't (at least for now)
37 // provide significantly better compression in most cases.
38 //
39 // Memory usage limit is useful if it is important that the
40 // decompressor won't consume gigabytes of memory. The need
41 // for limiting depends on the application. In this example,
42 // no memory usage limiting is used. This is done by setting
43 // the limit to UINT64_MAX.
44 //
45 // The .xz format allows concatenating compressed files as is:
46 //
47 // echo foo | xz > foobar.xz
48 // echo bar | xz >> foobar.xz
49 //
50 // When decompressing normal standalone .xz files, LZMA_CONCATENATED
51 // should always be used to support decompression of concatenated
52 // .xz files. If LZMA_CONCATENATED isn't used, the decoder will stop
53 // after the first .xz stream. This can be useful when .xz data has
54 // been embedded inside another file format.
55 //
56 // Flags other than LZMA_CONCATENATED are supported too, and can
57 // be combined with bitwise-or. See lzma/container.h
