 * so applications must periodically call this function after flushing
 * the accumulated compressed data to disk or to the network to reset
 * the pointer to the buffer's head.
 *
 * `pad_before` bytes will be skipped before writing the compressed
 * data, and `pad_after` bytes will be appended to the packet. The size
 * of the packet will be the sum of the size of the actual compressed
 * data, pad_before, and pad_after. The padding bytes will be preserved
 * (not overwritten).
 *
 * Note that calling this function does not guarantee that the returned
 * compressed data will be placed into the specified buffer. In the
 * event that the encoded data will not fit into the buffer provided,
 * the returned packet \ref MAY point to an internal buffer, as it would
 * if this call were never used. In this event, the output packet will
 * NOT have any padding, and the application must free space and copy it
 * to the proper place. This is of particular note in configurations
 * that may output multiple packets for a single encoded frame (e.g., lagged
 * encoding) or if the application does not reset the buffer periodically.
 *
