+/** Compression filter for outgoing data.
+ *
+ * See <grpc/compression.h> for the available compression settings.
+ *
+ * Compression settings may come from:
+ * - Channel configuration, as established at channel creation time.
+ * - The metadata accompanying the outgoing data to be compressed. This is
+ * taken as a request only. We may choose not to honor it. The metadata key
+ * is given by \a GRPC_COMPRESSION_REQUEST_ALGORITHM_MD_KEY.
+ *
+ * Compression can be disabled for concrete messages (for instance in order to
+ * prevent CRIME/BEAST type attacks) by having the GRPC_WRITE_NO_COMPRESS set in
+ * the BEGIN_MESSAGE flags.
+ *
+ * The attempted compression mechanism is added to the resulting initial
+ * metadata under the'grpc-encoding' key.
+ *
+ * If compression is actually performed, BEGIN_MESSAGE's flag is modified to
+ * incorporate GRPC_WRITE_INTERNAL_COMPRESS. Otherwise, and regardless of the
+ * aforementioned 'grpc-encoding' metadata value, data will pass through
+ * uncompressed. */
