The .xz file format specification specifies 16 Check IDs (0-15). Some of them are only reserved, that is, no actual Check algorithm has been assigned. When decoding, liblzma still accepts unknown Check IDs for future compatibility. If a valid but unsupported Check ID is detected, liblzma can indicate a warning; see the flags LZMA_TELL_NO_CHECK, LZMA_TELL_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK, and LZMA_TELL_ANY_CHECK in container.h.
Get the size of the Check field with the given Check ID.
Although not all Check IDs have a check algorithm associated, the size of every Check is already frozen. This function returns the size (in bytes) of the Check field with the specified Check ID. The values are: { 0, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8, 8, 16, 16, 16, 32, 32, 32, 64, 64, 64 }
Parameters
check
Check ID
Returns
Size of the Check field in bytes. If the argument is not in the range [0, 15], UINT32_MAX is returned.
This function can be called only immediately after lzma_code() has returned LZMA_NO_CHECK, LZMA_UNSUPPORTED_CHECK, or LZMA_GET_CHECK. Calling this function in any other situation has undefined behavior.
Parameters
strm
Pointer to lzma_stream meeting the above conditions.
Returns
Check ID in the lzma_stream, or undefined if called improperly.
