+\section{Factory}{
+
+The \code{Codec$create()} factory method takes the following arguments:
+\itemize{
+\item \code{type}: string name of the compression method. Possible values are
+"uncompressed", "snappy", "gzip", "brotli", "zstd", "lz4", "lzo", or
+"bz2". \code{type} may be upper- or lower-cased. Not all methods may be
+available; support depends on build-time flags for the C++ library.
+See \code{\link[=codec_is_available]{codec_is_available()}}. Most builds support at least "snappy" and
+"gzip". All support "uncompressed".
+\item \code{compression_level}: compression level, the default value (\code{NA}) uses the
+default compression level for the selected compression \code{type}.
+}
