Code Examples Usage Example for Compression and Decompression

 use lz4_flex::block::{compress_prepend_size, decompress_size_prepended};

fn main(){
    let input: &[u8] = b"Hello people, what's up?";
    let compressed = compress_prepend_size(input);
    let uncompressed = decompress_size_prepended(&compressed).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(input, uncompressed);
}
