restartable algo

[jgm-ktg]

Hello,

It is often not feasible to prepare the entire input buffer or the entire output buffer prior to a single call of a transformation algo.

For example, look at zlib API. User provides input chunks in succession and output chunks in succession. The entire data to be transformed does not have to be in memory at once.

Please provide this kind of multi-call API!

Hmm, is it true that processing input in multiples of 3 fulfills this requirement already?

Yes
