 * <h2>Introduction</h2>
 * <p>The <a href="https://rohc-lib.org/" title="Official website">ROHC library</a>
 * provides an easy and robust way for applications to reduce their bandwidth
 * usage on network links with limited capacity.  Headers of network packets are
 * compressed with the ROHC protocol and algorithms.</p>
 * <p><a href="https://rohc-lib.org/support/wiki/doku.php?id=rohc-protocol"
 * title="An introduction to the ROHC protocol">RObust Header Compression
 * (ROHC)</a> is a set of standards defined by the <a href="http://www.ietf.org/"
 * title="The IETF website">IETF</a>. The ROHC library is a free, opensource and
 * efficient implementation of them.
 * <a href="https://rohc-lib.org/support/wiki/doku.php?id=library-compliance-rfcs">Many
 * features</a>are implemented.</p>

 *
 * <h2>Library</h2>
 * <p>
 * The sources are in the src subdirectory. The sources are separated into
 * three sub-directories:
 *  <ul>
 *   <li>the common/ sub-directory contains the routines used for both the
 *       compression and the decompression processes,</li>
 *   <li>the comp/ sub-directory handles the compression process,</li>
 *   <li>the decomp/ sub-directory handles the decompression process.</li>
 *  </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p>See the <a href="https://github.com/didier-barvaux/rohc/blob/master/INSTALL.md">INSTALL.md file</a>
 * to learn to build the libraries. See also the <a href="https://rohc-lib.org/support/wiki/">Wiki
 * of the project</a>.</p>
 *
 * <h2>API documentation, tutorials and examples</h2>
 * <p>The APIs for ROHC common, compression and decompression parts are available on
 * separate pages:
 *  <ul>
 *    <li>\ref rohc</li>
 *    <li>\ref rohc_comp</li>
 *    <li>\ref rohc_decomp</li>
 *  </ul>
 * </p>
 * <p><a href="https://rohc-lib.org/presentation/getting-started/">Some</a>
 * <a href="https://rohc-lib.org/support/wiki/doku.php?id=library-first-application">tutorials</a>
 * are available on the website and wiki.</p>
 * <p><a href="https://github.com/didier-barvaux/rohc/tree/master/examples">Some examples</a>
 * are available in the examples/ sub-directory in the sources.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Tests</h2>
 * <p>
 * Several tests may be run to check the library behaviour. See the
 * <a href="https://github.com/didier-barvaux/rohc/blob/master/INSTALL.md">INSTALL.md file</a>
 * to learn how to use these tools.</p>
