NAME
       memcached - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libmemcached-1.0/memcached.h>

       LIBMEMCACHED

       memcached_st *memcached(const char *string, size_t string_length)

       memcached_return_t libmemcached_check_configuration(const
       char *option_string, size_t length, char *error_buffer,
       size_t error_buffer_size)

       Compile and link with -lmemcached

DESCRIPTION
       Libmemcached implements a custom language for configuring and modifying
       servers. By passing in an option string you can generate a memcached_st
       object that you can use in your application directly.

       --SERVER=<servername>:<optional_port>/?<optional_weight>

       Provide a servername to be used by the client. Providing a weight will
       cause weighting to occur with all hosts with each server getting a
       default weight of 1.

       --SOCKET="<filepath>/?<optional_weight>"

       Provide a filepath to a UNIX socket file. Providing a weight will cause
       weighting to occur with all hosts with each server getting a default
       weight of 1.

       --VERIFY-KEY

       Verify that keys that are being used fit within the design of the
       protocol being used.

       --REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS

       Enable the behavior MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS.

       --BINARY-PROTOCOL

       Force all connections to use the binary protocol.

       --BUFFER-REQUESTS

       Please see MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BUFFER_REQUESTS.

       --CONFIGURE-FILE=

       Provide a configuration file to be used to load requests. Beware that
       by using a configuration file libmemcached will reset memcached_st
       based on information only contained in the file.

       --CONNECT-TIMEOUT=

       Please see MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT.

       --DISTRIBUTION=

       Set the distribution model used by the client.  See :manpage:`` for
       more details.

       --HASH=

       Set the hashing alogrthm used for placing keys on servers.

       --HASH-WITH-NAMESPACE

       When enabled the prefix key will be added to the key when determining
       which server to store the data in.

       --NOREPLY

       Enable "no reply" for all calls that support this. It is highly
       recommended that you use this option with the binary protocol only.

       --NUMBER-OF-REPLICAS=

       Set the nummber of servers that keys will be replicated to.

       --RANDOMIZE-REPLICA-READ

       Select randomly the server within the replication pool to read from.

       --SORT-HOSTS

       When adding new servers always calculate their distribution based on
       sorted naming order.

       --SUPPORT-CAS

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SUPPORT_CAS

       --USE-UDP

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP

       --NAMESPACE=

       A namespace is a container that provides context for keys, only other
       requests that know the namespace can access these values. This is
       accomplished by prepending the namespace value to all keys.

   Mecached Pool Options:

       --POOL-MIN

       Initial size of pool.

       --POOL-MAX

       Maximize size of the pool.

   I/O Options:

       --TCP-NODELAY

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_TCP_NODELAY

       --TCP-KEEPALIVE

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_TCP_KEEPALIVE

       --RETRY-TIMEOUT=

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_RETRY_TIMEOUT

       --SERVER-FAILURE-LIMIT=

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for
       MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT

       --SND-TIMEOUT=

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SND_TIMEOUT

       --SOCKET-RECV-SIZE=

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SOCKET_RECV_SIZE

       --SOCKET-SEND-SIZE=

       See memcached_behavior_set(3) for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SOCKET_SEND_SIZE

       --POLL-TIMEOUT=

       That sets the value of the timeout used by :manpage: poll().

       --IO-BYTES-WATERMARK=

       --IO-KEY-PREFETCH=

       --IO-MSG-WATERMARK=

       --TCP-KEEPIDLE

       --RCV-TIMEOUT=

   Other:

       INCLUDE

       Include a file in configuration. Unlike --CONFIGURE-FILE= this will not
       reset memcached_st

       RESET

       Reset memcached_st and continue to process.

       END

       End configutation processing.

       ERROR

       End configutation processing and throw an error.

RETURN
       memcached() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created (or
       initialized).  On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.

EXAMPLE

          const char *config_string= "--SERVER=host10.example.com --SERVER=host11.example.com --SERVER=host10.example.com"
          memcached_st *memc= memcached(config_string, strlen(config_string);
          {
           ...
          }
          memcached_free(memc);
