SYNOPSIS

       #include <libgearman/gearman.h>

       gearman_worker_st *gearman_worker_create(gearman_worker_st *client)

       gearman_worker_st          *gearman_worker_clone(gearman_worker_st *client,          const
       gearman_worker_st *from)

       void gearman_worker_free(gearman_worker_st *client)

DESCRIPTION

       gearman_worker_create() is used to create a gearman_worker_st  structure that will then be
       used  by  other  libgearman(3) client functions to communicate with the server. You should
       either pass a statically declared gearman_worker_st  to gearman_worker_create) or a  NULL.
       If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you.

       gearman_worker_clone()  is  similar  to gearman_worker_create() but it copies the defaults
       and list of servers from the source gearman_worker_st. If you pass a null as the  argument
       for  the  source  to  clone,  it is the same as a call to gearman_worker_create().  If the
       destination argument is NULL a gearman_worker_st  will be allocated for you.

       To clean up memory associated with a gearman_worker_st  structure you should  pass  it  to
       gearman_worker_free()  when you are finished using it. gearman_worker_free is the only way
       to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using the structure.

       You may wish to avoid using gearman_worker_create() or gearman_worker_clone() with a stack
       based  allocation,  ie  the  first parameter. The most common issues related to ABI safety
       involve heap allocated structures.

RETURN VALUE

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

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