24  * 7-Zip, and LZMA SDK. It's called LZMA1 here to prevent developers from
25  * accidentally using LZMA when they actually want LZMA2.

49  * If you will use LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH often, the hash chains may be a better
50  * choice, because binary trees get much higher compression ratio penalty
51  * with LZMA_SYNC_FLUSH.
