/** \mainpage
 *
 * \section intro Introduction
 *
 * libmspack is a library which provides compressors and decompressors,
 * archivers and dearchivers for Microsoft compression formats.
 *
 * \section formats Formats supported
 *
 * The following file formats are supported:
 * - SZDD files, which use LZSS compression
 * - KWAJ files, which use LZSS, LZSS+Huffman or deflate compression
 * - .HLP (MS Help) files, which use LZSS compression
 * - .CAB (MS Cabinet) files, which use deflate, LZX or Quantum compression
 * - .CHM (HTML Help) files, which use LZX compression
 * - .LIT (MS EBook) files, which use LZX compression and DES encryption
 * - .LZX (Exchange Offline Addressbook) files, which use LZX compression
 *
 * To determine the capabilities of the library, and the binary
 * compatibility version of any particular compressor or decompressor, use
 * the mspack_version() function. The UNIX library interface version is
 * defined as the highest-versioned library component.
 *
 * \section starting Getting started
 *
 * The macro MSPACK_SYS_SELFTEST() should be used to ensure the library can
 * be used. In particular, it checks if the caller is using 32-bit file I/O
 * when the library is compiled for 64-bit file I/O and vice versa.
 *
 * If compiled normally, the library includes basic file I/O and memory
 * management functionality using the standard C library. This can be
 * customised and replaced entirely by creating a mspack_system structure.
 *
 * A compressor or decompressor for the required format must be
 * instantiated before it can be used. Each construction function takes
 * one parameter, which is either a pointer to a custom mspack_system
 * structure, or NULL to use the default. The instantiation returned, if
 * not NULL, contains function pointers (methods) to work with the given
 * file format.
 * 
 * For compression:
 * - mspack_create_cab_compressor() creates a mscab_compressor
 * - mspack_create_chm_compressor() creates a mschm_compressor
 * - mspack_create_lit_compressor() creates a mslit_compressor
 * - mspack_create_hlp_compressor() creates a mshlp_compressor
 * - mspack_create_szdd_compressor() creates a msszdd_compressor
 * - mspack_create_kwaj_compressor() creates a mskwaj_compressor
 * - mspack_create_oab_compressor() creates a msoab_compressor
 *
 * For decompression:
 * - mspack_create_cab_decompressor() creates a mscab_decompressor
 * - mspack_create_chm_decompressor() creates a mschm_decompressor
 * - mspack_create_lit_decompressor() creates a mslit_decompressor
 * - mspack_create_hlp_decompressor() creates a mshlp_decompressor

 * - mspack_create_oab_decompressor() creates a msoab_decompressor
 *
 * Once finished working with a format, each kind of
 * compressor/decompressor has its own specific destructor:
 * - mspack_destroy_cab_compressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_cab_decompressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_chm_compressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_chm_decompressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_lit_compressor()

 * - mspack_destroy_kwaj_decompressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_oab_compressor()
 * - mspack_destroy_oab_decompressor()
 *
 * Destroying a compressor or decompressor does not destroy any objects,
 * structures or handles that have been created using that compressor or
 * decompressor. Ensure that everything created or opened is destroyed or
 * closed before compressor/decompressor is itself destroyed.
 *
 * \section errors Error codes
 *
 * All compressors and decompressors use the same set of error codes. Most
 * methods return an error code directly. For methods which do not
 * return error codes directly, the error code can be obtained with the
 * last_error() method.
 *
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_OK is used to indicate success. This error code is defined
 *   as zero, all other code are non-zero.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_ARGS indicates that a method was called with inappropriate
 *   arguments.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_OPEN indicates that mspack_system::open() failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_READ indicates that mspack_system::read() failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_WRITE indicates that mspack_system::write() failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_SEEK indicates that mspack_system::seek() failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_NOMEMORY indicates that mspack_system::alloc() failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_SIGNATURE indicates that the file being read does not
 *   have the correct "signature". It is probably not a valid file for
 *   whatever format is being read.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_DATAFORMAT indicates that the file being used or read
 *   is corrupt.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_CHECKSUM indicates that a data checksum has failed.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_CRUNCH indicates an error occured during compression.
 * - #MSPACK_ERR_DECRUNCH indicates an error occured during decompression.
 *
 * \section threading Multi-threading
 *
 * libmspack methods are reentrant and multithreading-safe when each
 * thread has its own compressor or decompressor.

 * You should not call multiple methods simultaneously on a single
 * compressor or decompressor instance.
 *
 * If this may happen, you can either use one compressor or
 * decompressor per thread, or you can use your preferred lock,
 * semaphore or mutex library to ensure no more than one method on a
 * compressor/decompressor is called simultaneously. libmspack will
 * not do this locking for you.
 *
 * Example of incorrect behaviour:
 * - thread 1 calls mspack_create_cab_decompressor()
 * - thread 1 calls open()
 * - thread 1 calls extract() for one file
 * - thread 2 simultaneously calls extract() for another file
 *
 * Correct behaviour:
 * - thread 1 calls mspack_create_cab_decompressor()
 * - thread 2 calls mspack_create_cab_decompressor()
 * - thread 1 calls its own open() / extract()
 * - thread 2 simultaneously calls its own open() / extract()
 *
 * Also correct behaviour:
 * - thread 1 calls mspack_create_cab_decompressor()
 * - thread 1 locks a mutex for with the decompressor before
 *   calling any methods on it, and unlocks the mutex after each
 *   method returns.
 * - thread 1 can share the results of open() with thread 2, and both
 *   can call extract(), provided they both guard against simultaneous
 *   use of extract(), and any other methods, with the mutex

 * allows for more abstract interaction, such as reading and writing files

   * The CHM file format includes data about the compressed section (such
   * as its overall size) that is stored in the output CHM file prior to
   * the compressed section itself. This unavoidably requires that the
   * compressed section has to be generated, before these details can be
   * set. There are several ways this can be handled. Firstly, the
   * compressed section could be generated entirely in memory before
   * writing any of the output CHM file. This approach is not used in
   * libmspack, as the compressed section can exceed the addressable
   * memory space on most architectures.
   *
   * libmspack has two options, either to write these unknowable sections
   * with blank data, generate the compressed section, then re-open the
   * output file for update once the compressed section has been
   * completed, or to write the compressed section to a temporary file,
   * then write the entire output file at once, performing a simple
   * file-to-file copy for the compressed section.
   *
   * The simple solution of buffering the entire compressed section in
   * memory can still be used, if desired. As the temporary file's
   * filename is passed directly to mspack_system::open(), it is possible
   * for a custom mspack_system implementation to hold this file in memory,
   * without writing to a disk.
   *
   * If a temporary file is set, generate() performs the following
   * sequence of events: the temporary file is opened for writing, the
   * compression algorithm writes to the temporary file, the temporary
   * file is closed.  Then the output file is opened for writing and the
   * temporary file is re-opened for reading. The output file is written
   * and the temporary file is read from. Both files are then closed. The
   * temporary file itself is not deleted. If that is desired, the
   * temporary file should be deleted after the completion of generate(),
   * if it exists.
   *
   * If a temporary file is set not to be used, generate() performs the
   * following sequence of events: the output file is opened for writing,
   * then it is written and closed. The output file is then re-opened for
   * update, the appropriate sections are seek()ed to and re-written, then

   *   own algorithm for making a unique ID, based on the lengths and
   *   names of files in the CHM itself. Defaults to 0, any value between
   *   0 and (2^32)-1 is valid.
   * - #MSCHMC_PARAM_LANGUAGE: Sets the "language" of the CHM file
   *   generated.  This is not the language used in the CHM file, but the
   *   language setting of the user who ran the HTMLHelp compiler. It
   *   defaults to 0x0409. The valid range is between 0x0000 and 0x7F7F.
   * - #MSCHMC_PARAM_LZXWINDOW: Sets the size of the LZX history window,
   *   which is also the interval at which the compressed data stream can be
   *   randomly accessed. The value is not a size in bytes, but a power of
   *   two. The default value is 16 (which makes the window 2^16 bytes, or
   *   64 kilobytes), the valid range is from 15 (32 kilobytes) to 21 (2
   *   megabytes).
   * - #MSCHMC_PARAM_DENSITY: Sets the "density" of quick reference
   *   entries stored at the end of directory listing chunk. Each chunk is
   *   4096 bytes in size, and contains as many file entries as there is
   *   room for. At the other end of the chunk, a list of "quick reference"
   *   pointers is included. The offset of every 'N'th file entry is given a
   *   quick reference, where N = (2^density) + 1. The default density is
   *   2. The smallest density is 0 (N=2), the maximum is 10 (N=1025). As
   *   each file entry requires at least 5 bytes, the maximum number of
   *   entries in a single chunk is roughly 800, so the maximum value 10
   *   can be used to indicate there are no quickrefs at all.
   * - #MSCHMC_PARAM_INDEX: Sets whether or not to include quick lookup
   *   index chunk(s), in addition to normal directory listing chunks. A
   *   value of zero means no index chunks will be created, a non-zero value
   *   means index chunks will be created. The default is zero, "don't
