391  *     It will decode header from `srcBuffer`,
392  *     consuming the header and starting the decoding process.
393  *
394  *     Input size must be large enough to contain the full frame header.
395  *     Frame header size can be known beforehand by LZ4F_headerSize().
396  *     Frame header size is variable, but is guaranteed to be >= LZ4F_HEADER_SIZE_MIN bytes,
397  *     and not more than <= LZ4F_HEADER_SIZE_MAX bytes.
398  *     Hence, blindly providing LZ4F_HEADER_SIZE_MAX bytes or more will always work.
399  *     It's allowed to provide more input data than the header size,
400  *     LZ4F_getFrameInfo() will only consume the header.
401  *
402  *     If input size is not large enough,
403  *     aka if it's smaller than header size,
404  *     function will fail and return an error code.
405  *
406  *  2) After decoding has been started,
407  *     it's possible to invoke LZ4F_getFrameInfo() anytime
408  *     to extract already decoded frame parameters stored within dctx.
409  *
410  *     Note that, if decoding has barely started,
411  *     and not yet read enough information to decode the header,
412  *     LZ4F_getFrameInfo() will fail.
413  *
414  *  The number of bytes consumed from srcBuffer will be updated in *srcSizePtr (necessarily <= original value).
415  *  LZ4F_getFrameInfo() only consumes bytes when decoding has not yet started,
416  *  and when decoding the header has been successful.
417  *  Decompression must then resume from (srcBuffer + *srcSizePtr).
418  *
419  * @return : a hint about how many srcSize bytes LZ4F_decompress() expects for next call,
420  *           or an error code which can be tested using LZ4F_isError().
421  *  note 1 : in case of error, dctx is not modified. Decoding operation can resume from beginning safely.
422  *  note 2 : frame parameters are *copied into* an already allocated LZ4F_frameInfo_t structure.

444  *  Respecting the hint provides some small speed benefit, because it skips intermediate buffers.
445  *  This is just a hint though, it's always possible to provide any srcSize.
