This directory contains material defining the Zstandard format,
-as well as for help using the `zstd` library.
+as well as detailed instructions to use `zstd` library.

__`zstd_compression_format.md`__ : This document defines the Zstandard compression format.
Compliant decoders must adhere to this document,
and compliant encoders must generate data that follows it.
+Should you look for resources to develop your own port of Zstandard algorithm,
+you may find the following resources useful :

__`educational_decoder`__ : This directory contains an implementation of a Zstandard decoder,
compliant with the Zstandard compression format.
It can be used, for example, to better understand the format,
-or as the basis for a separate implementation a Zstandard decoder/encoder.

-__`zstd_manual.html`__ : Documentation on the functions found in `zstd.h`.
-See [http://zstd.net/zstd_manual.html](http://zstd.net/zstd_manual.html) for

+[__`decode_corpus`__](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/tree/dev/tests#decodecorpus---tool-to-generate-zstandard-frames-for-decoder-testing) :
+This tool, stored in `/tests` directory, is able to generate random valid frames,
+which is useful if you wish to test your decoder and verify it fully supports the specification.
