1030  * so applications must periodically call this function after flushing
1031  * the accumulated compressed data to disk or to the network to reset
1032  * the pointer to the buffer's head.
1033  *
1034  * `pad_before` bytes will be skipped before writing the compressed
1035  * data, and `pad_after` bytes will be appended to the packet. The size
1036  * of the packet will be the sum of the size of the actual compressed
1037  * data, pad_before, and pad_after. The padding bytes will be preserved
1038  * (not overwritten).

1040  * Note that calling this function does not guarantee that the returned
1041  * compressed data will be placed into the specified buffer. In the
1042  * event that the encoded data will not fit into the buffer provided,
1043  * the returned packet \ref MAY point to an internal buffer, as it would
