       memcached_delete_by_key - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libmemcached/memcached.h>

       memcached_return_t memcached_delete(memcached_st *ptr, const char *key, size_t key_length,
       time_t expiration)

       memcached_return_t   memcached_delete_by_key(memcached_st *ptr,   const   char *group_key,
       size_t group_key_length, const char *key, size_t key_length, time_t expiration)

       Compile and link with -lmemcached

DESCRIPTION

       memcached_delete()  is  used  to delete a particular key.  memcached_delete_by_key() works
       the same, but it takes a master key to find the given value.

       Expiration works by placing the item into a delete queue, which means  that  it  won't  be
       possible  to  retrieve it by the "get" command. The "add" and "replace" commands with this
       key will also fail (the "set" command will succeed, however). After the time  passes,  the
       item is finally deleted from server memory.

       Please  note  the  the  Danga  memcached  server  removed  tests for expiration in the 1.4
       version.

RETURN

       A  value  of  type  memcached_return_t  is  returned  On  success  that  value   will   be
       MEMCACHED_SUCCESS.   Use  memcached_strerror()  to  translate  this  value  to a printable
       string.

       If you are using the non-blocking mode of the library, success only means that the message
       was queued for delivery.
