+/**
+ * \file lzma/vli.h
+ * \brief Variable-length integer handling
+ * \note Never include this file directly. Use <lzma.h> instead.
+ *
+ * In the .xz format, most integers are encoded in a variable-length
+ * representation, which is sometimes called little endian base-128 encoding.
+ * This saves space when smaller values are more likely than bigger values.
+ *
+ * The encoding scheme encodes seven bits to every byte, using minimum
+ * number of bytes required to represent the given value. Encodings that use
+ * non-minimum number of bytes are invalid, thus every integer has exactly
+ * one encoded representation. The maximum number of bits in a VLI is 63,
+ * thus the vli argument must be less than or equal to UINT64_MAX / 2. You
+ * should use LZMA_VLI_MAX for clarity.

+ * \param[out] vli_pos How many VLI-encoded bytes have already been written
+ * out. When starting to encode a new integer in
+ * multi-call mode, *vli_pos must be set to zero.
+ * To use single-call encoding, set vli_pos to NULL.
+ * \param[out] out Beginning of the output buffer
+ * \param[out] out_pos The next byte will be written to out[*out_pos].
+ * \param out_size Size of the out buffer; the first byte into
+ * which no data is written to is out[out_size].
+ *
+ * \return Slightly different return values are used in multi-call and
+ * single-call modes.
+ *
+ * Single-call (vli_pos == NULL):
+ * - LZMA_OK: Integer successfully encoded.
+ * - LZMA_PROG_ERROR: Arguments are not sane. This can be due
+ * to too little output space; single-call mode doesn't use
+ * LZMA_BUF_ERROR, since the application should have checked
+ * the encoded size with lzma_vli_size().
+ *
+ * Multi-call (vli_pos != NULL):
+ * - LZMA_OK: So far all OK, but the integer is not
+ * completely written out yet.
+ * - LZMA_STREAM_END: Integer successfully encoded.
+ * - LZMA_BUF_ERROR: No output space was provided.
