       memcat - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS

       memcat [options] key [key...]

       Read and output the value of one key or the values of a set of keys.

DESCRIPTION

       memcat  reads  and outputs the value of a single or a set of keys stored in a memcached(1)
       server.

       If any key is not found an error is returned.

       It is similar to the standard UNIX cat(1) utility.

NOTES

   PROGRAM PREFIX
       The prefix of this program is variable, i.e. it can be configured at build time.

       Usually the client programs of libmemcached-awesome are prefixed with mem, like memcat  or
       memcp.

       It  can  be configured, though, to replace the prefix with something else like mc, in case
       of that, the client programs of libmemcached-awesome would be  called  mccat,  mccp,  etc.
       respectively.
