`DS (coded dictionary size, 1 byte)'

- is (base dictionary size / 16).
+ Lzip divides the distance between any two powers of 2 into 8
+ equally spaced intervals, named "wedges". The dictionary size is
+ calculated by taking a power of 2 (the base size) and substracting
+ from it a number of wedges between 0 and 7. The size of a wedge is

+ Bits 4-0 contain the base 2 logarithm of the base size (12 to 29).

+ the base size to obtain the dictionary size.
+ Example: 0xD3 = (2^19 - 6 * 2^15) = (512KiB - 6 * 32KiB) = 320KiB
Valid values for dictionary size range from 4KiB to 512MiB.
