LIBRARY

       C Client Library for memcached (libmemcached, -lmemcached)

SYNOPSIS

         #include <memcached.h>

         const memcached_server_instance_st
           memcached_server_list (memcached_st *ptr);

         void memcached_server_list_free (memcached_server_list_st list);

         memcached_server_list_st
           memcached_server_list_append (memcached_server_list_st list,
                                         const char *hostname,
                                         unsigned int port,
                                         memcached_return_t *error);

         uint32_t memcached_server_list_count (memcached_server_list_st list);

         memcached_server_list_st memcached_servers_parse (const char *server_strings);

         const char *memcached_server_error (memcached_server_instance_st instance);

         DEPRECATED
         void memcached_server_error_reset (memcached_server_instance_st list);

DESCRIPTION

       libmemcached(3) operates on a list of hosts which are stored in memcached_server_st structures. You
       should not modify these structures directly. Functions are provided to modify these structures (and more
       can be added, just ask!).

       memcached_server_list() is used to provide an array of all defined hosts.  This was incorrectly
       documented as "requiring free()" up till version 0.39.

       memcached_server_list_free() deallocates all memory associated with the array of memcached_server_st that
       you passed to it.

       memcached_server_list_append() adds a server to the end of a memcached_server_st array. On error null
       will be returned and the memcached_return_t pointer you passed into the function will be set with the
       appropriate error. If the value of port is zero, it is set to the default port of a memcached server.

       memcached_servers_parse() takes a string, the type that is used for the command line applications, and
       parse it to an array of memcached_server_st.  The example is "localhost, foo:555, foo, bar". All hosts
       except foo:555 will be set to the default port, while that host will have a port of 555.

       memcached_server_error() can be used to look at the text of the last error message sent by the server to
       to the client.

       Before version 0.39 theses functions used a memcache_server_st *. In 0.39 memcached_server_st * was
       aliased to memcached_server_list_st. This was done for a style reason/to help clean up some concepts in
       the code.

RETURN

       Varies, see particular functions.
