+/* inbuf   - input buffer
+ *len     - len of pre-read data in inbuf
+ *fill    - function to fill inbuf when empty
+ *flush   - function to write out outbuf
+ *outbuf  - output buffer
+ *posp    - if non-null, input position (number of bytes read) will be
+ *	  returned here
+ *
+ *If len != 0, inbuf should contain all the necessary input data, and fill
+ *should be NULL
+ *If len = 0, inbuf can be NULL, in which case the decompressor will allocate
+ *the input buffer.  If inbuf != NULL it must be at least XXX_IOBUF_SIZE bytes.
+ *fill will be called (repeatedly...) to read data, at most XXX_IOBUF_SIZE
+ *bytes should be read per call.  Replace XXX with the appropriate decompressor
+ *name, i.e. LZMA_IOBUF_SIZE.
+ *
+ *If flush = NULL, outbuf must be large enough to buffer all the expected
+ *output.  If flush != NULL, the output buffer will be allocated by the
+ *decompressor (outbuf = NULL), and the flush function will be called to
+ *flush the output buffer at the appropriate time (decompressor and stream
+ *dependent).
