Syntax

public sealed class LZ4

Methods

Compress(Byte[], Int32, Int32, DataOutput, LZ4.HashTable)

Compress bytes[off:off+len] into out using at most 16KB of memory. ht shouldn't be shared across threads but can safely be reused.

Declaration

public static void Compress(byte[] bytes, int off, int len, DataOutput out, LZ4.HashTable ht)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	bytes
System.Int32	off
System.Int32	len
DataOutput	out
LZ4.HashTable	ht

CompressHC(Byte[], Int32, Int32, DataOutput, LZ4.HCHashTable)

Compress bytes[off:off+len] into out. Compared to Compress(Byte[], Int32, Int32, DataOutput, LZ4.HashTable), this method is slower and uses more memory (~ 256KB per thread) but should provide better compression ratios (especially on large inputs) because it chooses the best match among up to 256 candidates and then performs trade-offs to fix overlapping matches. ht shouldn't be shared across threads but can safely be reused.

Declaration

public static void CompressHC(byte[] src, int srcOff, int srcLen, DataOutput out, LZ4.HCHashTable ht)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Byte[]	src
System.Int32	srcOff
System.Int32	srcLen
DataOutput	out
LZ4.HCHashTable	ht

Decompress(DataInput, Int32, Byte[], Int32)

Decompress at least decompressedLen bytes into dest[dOff]. Please note that dest must be large enough to be able to hold all decompressed data (meaning that you need to know the total decompressed length).

Declaration

public static int Decompress(DataInput compressed, int decompressedLen, byte[] dest, int dOff)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
DataInput	compressed
System.Int32	decompressedLen
System.Byte[]	dest
System.Int32	dOff

Returns

Type	Description
System.Int32
