+ * configuration (including presets) but not the number of threads,
+ * block size, check type, or memory limits.
+ *
+ * The input string can be either a preset or a filter chain. Presets
+ * begin with a digit 0-9 and may be followed by zero or more flags
+ * which are lower-case letters. Currently only "e" is supported, matching
+ * LZMA_PRESET_EXTREME. For partial xz command line syntax compatibility,
+ * a preset string may start with a single dash "-".
+ *
+ * A filter chain consists of one or more "filtername:opt1=value1,opt2=value2"
+ * strings separated by one or more spaces. Leading and trailing spaces are
+ * ignored. All names and values must be lower-case. Extra commas in the
+ * option list are ignored. The order of filters is significant: when
+ * encoding, the uncompressed input data goes to the leftmost filter first.
+ * Normally "lzma2" is the last filter in the chain.
+ *
+ * If one wishes to avoid spaces, for example, to avoid shell quoting,
+ * it is possible to use two dashes "--" instead of spaces to separate
+ * the filters.
+ *
+ * For xz command line compatibility, each filter may be prefixed with
+ * two dashes "--" and the colon ":" separating the filter name from
+ * the options may be replaced with an equals sign "=".
+ *
+ * By default, only filters that can be used in the .xz format are accepted.
+ * To allow all filters (LZMA1) use the flag LZMA_STR_ALL_FILTERS.
+ *
+ * By default, very basic validation is done for the filter chain as a whole,
+ * for example, that LZMA2 is only used as the last filter in the chain.
+ * The validation isn't perfect though and it's possible that this function
+ * succeeds but using the filter chain for encoding or decoding will still
+ * result in LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR. To disable this validation, use the flag
+ * LZMA_STR_NO_VALIDATION.
+ *

+ * of filter names and options.

+ * For command line applications, below is an example how an error message
