Hi Robert,

I had an offline discussion with Dipesh, and he will be working on the
lz4 client side decompression part.

Please find the attached patch with the following changes:

I think you are right, I have removed the message and again introduced
the Assert() back.

- In the new test case you set decompress_flags but according to the

As explained earlier in the tap test the 'lz4 -d base.tar.lz4' command was
throwing the decompression to stdout. Now, I have removed the '-m',
added '-d' for decompression, and also added the target file explicitly in
the command.
