+      Decompress *data* (a :term:`bytes-like object`), returning
+      uncompressed data as bytes. Some of *data* may be buffered
+      internally, for use in later calls to :meth:`decompress`. The
+      returned data should be concatenated with the output of any
+      previous calls to :meth:`decompress`.
+
+      If *max_length* is nonnegative, returns at most *max_length*
+      bytes of decompressed data. If this limit is reached and further
+      output can be produced, the :attr:`~.needs_input` attribute will
+      be set to ``False``. In this case, the next call to
+      :meth:`~.decompress` may provide *data* as ``b''`` to obtain
+      more of the output.
 
-      Provide data to the decompressor object. Returns a chunk of decompressed
-      data if possible, or an empty byte string otherwise.
+      If all of the input data was decompressed and returned (either
+      because this was less than *max_length* bytes, or because
+      *max_length* was negative), the :attr:`~.needs_input` attribute
+      will be set to ``True``.
 
-      Attempting to decompress data after the end of the current stream is
-      reached raises an :exc:`EOFError`. If any data is found after the end of
-      the stream, it is ignored and saved in the :attr:`unused_data` attribute.
