* Zstd dictionary builder
*
* FAQ
* ===
* Why should I use a dictionary?
* ------------------------------
*
* Zstd can use dictionaries to improve compression ratio of small data.
* Traditionally small files don't compress well because there is very little
* repetition in a single sample, since it is small. But, if you are compressing
* many similar files, like a bunch of JSON records that share the same
* structure, you can train a dictionary on ahead of time on some samples of
* these files. Then, zstd can use the dictionary to find repetitions that are
* present across samples. This can vastly improve compression ratio.
*
* When is a dictionary useful?
* ----------------------------
*
* Dictionaries are useful when compressing many small files that are similar.
* The larger a file is, the less benefit a dictionary will have. Generally,
* we don't expect dictionary compression to be effective past 100KB. And the
* smaller a file is, the more we would expect the dictionary to help.
*
* How do I use a dictionary?
* --------------------------
*
* Simply pass the dictionary to the zstd compressor with
* `ZSTD_CCtx_loadDictionary()`. The same dictionary must then be passed to
* the decompressor, using `ZSTD_DCtx_loadDictionary()`. There are other
* more advanced functions that allow selecting some options, see zstd.h for
* complete documentation.
*
* What is a zstd dictionary?
* --------------------------
*
* A zstd dictionary has two pieces: Its header, and its content. The header
* contains a magic number, the dictionary ID, and entropy tables. These
* entropy tables allow zstd to save on header costs in the compressed file,
* which really matters for small data. The content is just bytes, which are
* repeated content that is common across many samples.
*
* What is a raw content dictionary?
* ---------------------------------
*
* A raw content dictionary is just bytes. It doesn't have a zstd dictionary
* header, a dictionary ID, or entropy tables. Any buffer is a valid raw
* content dictionary.
*
* How do I train a dictionary?
* ----------------------------
*
* Gather samples from your use case. These samples should be similar to each
* other. If you have several use cases, you could try to train one dictionary
* per use case.
*
* Pass those samples to `ZDICT_trainFromBuffer()` and that will train your
* dictionary. There are a few advanced versions of this function, but this
* is a great starting point. If you want to further tune your dictionary
* you could try `ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_cover()`. If that is too slow
* you can try `ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover()`.
*
* If the dictionary training function fails, that is likely because you
* either passed too few samples, or a dictionary would not be effective
* for your data. Look at the messages that the dictionary trainer printed,
* if it doesn't say too few samples, then a dictionary would not be effective.
*
* How large should my dictionary be?
* ----------------------------------
*
* A reasonable dictionary size, the `dictBufferCapacity`, is about 100KB.
* The zstd CLI defaults to a 110KB dictionary. You likely don't need a
* dictionary larger than that. But, most use cases can get away with a
* smaller dictionary. The advanced dictionary builders can automatically
* shrink the dictionary for you, and select the smallest size that doesn't
* hurt compression ratio too much. See the `shrinkDict` parameter.
* A smaller dictionary can save memory, and potentially speed up
* compression.
*
* How many samples should I provide to the dictionary builder?
* ------------------------------------------------------------
*
* We generally recommend passing ~100x the size of the dictionary
* in samples. A few thousand should suffice. Having too few samples
* can hurt the dictionaries effectiveness. Having more samples will
* only improve the dictionaries effectiveness. But having too many
* samples can slow down the dictionary builder.
*
* How do I determine if a dictionary will be effective?
* -----------------------------------------------------
*
* Simply train a dictionary and try it out. You can use zstd's built in
* benchmarking tool to test the dictionary effectiveness.
*
* # Benchmark levels 1-3 without a dictionary
* zstd -b1e3 -r /path/to/my/files
* # Benchmark levels 1-3 with a dictionary
* zstd -b1e3 -r /path/to/my/files -D /path/to/my/dictionary
*
* When should I retrain a dictionary?
* -----------------------------------
*
* You should retrain a dictionary when its effectiveness drops. Dictionary
* effectiveness drops as the data you are compressing changes. Generally, we do
* expect dictionaries to "decay" over time, as your data changes, but the rate
* at which they decay depends on your use case. Internally, we regularly
* retrain dictionaries, and if the new dictionary performs significantly
* better than the old dictionary, we will ship the new dictionary.
*
* I have a raw content dictionary, how do I turn it into a zstd dictionary?
* -------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* If you have a raw content dictionary, e.g. by manually constructing it, or
* using a third-party dictionary builder, you can turn it into a zstd
* dictionary by using `ZDICT_finalizeDictionary()`. You'll also have to
* provide some samples of the data. It will add the zstd header to the
* raw content, which contains a dictionary ID and entropy tables, which
* will improve compression ratio, and allow zstd to write the dictionary ID
* into the frame, if you so choose.
*
* Do I have to use zstd's dictionary builder?
* -------------------------------------------
*
* No! You can construct dictionary content however you please, it is just
* bytes. It will always be valid as a raw content dictionary. If you want
* a zstd dictionary, which can improve compression ratio, use
* `ZDICT_finalizeDictionary()`.
*
* What is the attack surface of a zstd dictionary?
* ------------------------------------------------
*
* Zstd is heavily fuzz tested, including loading fuzzed dictionaries, so
* zstd should never crash, or access out-of-bounds memory no matter what
* the dictionary is. However, if an attacker can control the dictionary
* during decompression, they can cause zstd to generate arbitrary bytes,
* just like if they controlled the compressed data.

/*! ZDICT_trainFromBuffer():
* Train a dictionary from an array of samples.
* Redirect towards ZDICT_optimizeTrainFromBuffer_fastCover() single-threaded, with d=8, steps=4,
* f=20, and accel=1.
* Samples must be stored concatenated in a single flat buffer `samplesBuffer`,
* supplied with an array of sizes `samplesSizes`, providing the size of each sample, in order.
* The resulting dictionary will be saved into `dictBuffer`.
* @return: size of dictionary stored into `dictBuffer` (<= `dictBufferCapacity`)
* or an error code, which can be tested with ZDICT_isError().
* Note: Dictionary training will fail if there are not enough samples to construct a
* dictionary, or if most of the samples are too small (< 8 bytes being the lower limit).
* If dictionary training fails, you should use zstd without a dictionary, as the dictionary
* would've been ineffective anyways. If you believe your samples would benefit from a dictionary
* please open an issue with details, and we can look into it.
* Note: ZDICT_trainFromBuffer()'s memory usage is about 6 MB.
* Tips: In general, a reasonable dictionary has a size of ~ 100 KB.
* It's possible to select smaller or larger size, just by specifying `dictBufferCapacity`.
* In general, it's recommended to provide a few thousands samples, though this can vary a lot.
* It's recommended that total size of all samples be about ~x100 times the target size of dictionary.
