NAME

       libmemcached - C/C++ Client Library for memcached

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
              Compile and link with -lmemcached

                                                  ----

       libmemcached  is an open source C/C++ client library and tools for the memcached server (‐
       http://memcached.org/). It has been designed to be light on memory usage, thread safe, and
       provide full access to server side methods.

       libmemcached was designed to provide the greatest number of options to use Memcached. Some
       of the features provided:

       1. Asynchronous and Synchronous Transport Support.

       2. Consistent Hashing and Distribution.

       3. Tunable Hashing algorithm to match keys.

       4. Access to large object support.

       5. Local replication.

       6. A complete reference guide and documentation to the API.

       7. Tools to Manage your Memcached networks.

DESCRIPTION

       "Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object  caching  system,  generic  in
       nature,  but  intended  for  use  in  speeding  up dynamic web applications by alleviating
       database load." http://memcached.org/

       libmemcached is a small, thread-safe client library for the memcached protocol.  The  code
       has  all been written to allow for both web and embedded usage. It handles the work behind
       routing individual keys to specific servers specified by the  developer  (and  values  are
       matched  based  on  server  order  as  supplied  by the user). It implements a modular and
       consistent method of object distribution.

       There   are   multiple   implemented   routing    and    hashing    methods.    See    the
       memcached_behavior_set() manpage for more information.

       All operations are performed against a memcached_st structure. These structures can either
       be   dynamically   allocated   or   statically   allocated   and   then   initialized   by
       memcached_create().  Functions have been written in order to encapsulate the memcached_st.
       It is not recommended that you operate directly against the structure.

       Nearly all functions return a memcached_return_t value. This value can be translated to  a
       printable string with memcached_strerror().

       Objects are stored on servers by hashing keys. The hash value maps the key to a particular
       server. All clients understand how this hashing works, so it is possibly to reliably  both
       push data to a server and retrieve data from a server.

       Group keys can be optionally used to group sets of objects with servers.

       Namespaces  are  supported,  and  can  be  used  to  partition  caches  so  that  multiple
       applications can use the same memcached servers.

       Some features of the library must be enabled through memcached_behavior_set().

THREADS AND PROCESSES

       No global variables are used in this library.

       memcached_st structures are thread-safe, but when using threads or forked processes it  is
       important  to  keep  one  instance of memcached_st per process or thread. Without creating
       your own locking structures you can not share a single memcached_st. However, you can call
       memcached_quit() on a memcached_st and then use the resulting cloned structure.

SYSTEMTAP

       libmemcached can be built to support Systemtap on Linux when enabled at compile time.

       Please see stap(1) and dtrace(1) for more information about Systemtap.
