/** * \file lzma/vli.h * \brief Variable-length integer handling * * In the .xz format, most integers are encoded in a variable-length * representation, which is sometimes called little endian base-128 encoding. * This saves space when smaller values are more likely than bigger values. * * The encoding scheme encodes seven bits to every byte, using minimum * number of bytes required to represent the given value. Encodings that use * non-minimum number of bytes are invalid, thus every integer has exactly * one encoded representation. The maximum number of bits in a VLI is 63, * thus the vli argument must be less than or equal to UINT64_MAX / 2. You * should use LZMA_VLI_MAX for clarity. */ /* * Author: Lasse Collin * * This file has been put into the public domain. * You can do whatever you want with this file. * * See ../lzma.h for information about liblzma as a whole. */ #ifndef LZMA_H_INTERNAL # error Never include this file directly.
