5  *
6  * In the .xz format, most integers are encoded in a variable-length
7  * representation, which is sometimes called little endian base-128 encoding.
8  * This saves space when smaller values are more likely than bigger values.
9  *
10  * The encoding scheme encodes seven bits to every byte, using minimum
11  * number of bytes required to represent the given value. Encodings that use
12  * non-minimum number of bytes are invalid, thus every integer has exactly
13  * one encoded representation. The maximum number of bits in a VLI is 63,
14  * thus the vli argument must be less than or equal to UINT64_MAX / 2. You
15  * should use LZMA_VLI_MAX for clarity.

84  * too small. Multi-call mode saves the position in *vli_pos, and thus it is

91  *                        multi-call mode, *vli_pos must be set to zero.
92  *                        To use single-call encoding, set vli_pos to NULL.
93  * \param[out]  out       Beginning of the output buffer
94  * \param[out]  out_pos   The next byte will be written to out[*out_pos].
95  * \param       out_size  Size of the out buffer; the first byte into
96  *                        which no data is written to is out[out_size].
97  *
98  * \return      Slightly different return values are used in multi-call and
99  *              single-call modes.
