Zstd exposes multiple API flavors which can be used to transform strings into strings. The t
type encodes the various ways to pass a string from the OCaml world to ZStd functions.
val from_string : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> string -> t
from_string ?pos ?len s
will pass the content of s
to Zstd functions. This incurs a copy of the OCaml string when from_string
is called.
val from_bytes : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> Core.Bytes.t -> t
from_bytes ?pos ?len s
will pass the content of s
to Zstd functions. This incurs an allocation of a buffer of size len
when calling from_bytes
, and a copy of the ocaml bytes each time the resulting t
is used by a compression / decompression function.
val from_bigstring : ?pos:int -> ?len:int -> Core.Bigstring.t -> t
from_bigstring ?pos ?len s
will pass the content of s
between pos
and pos+len
to Zstd functions. This does not incur a copy.
