 * 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 a 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.
