+/**
+ * @defgroup pkg_lz4   LZ4 compression library
+ * @ingroup  pkg
+ * @brief    LZ4 is a fast compression library
+ *
+ * # Note about memory
+ *
+ * By default, the LZ4 implementation allocates memory on the stack. This
+ * way compression/decompression functions are fast but this comes at the cost
+ * of RAM usage.
+ * It is important to allocated enough stack memory (at least 16384 bytes) to
+ * any thread using LZ4 primitives.
