NAME

       memcached_flush - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS

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

       memcached_return_t memcached_flush(memcached_st *ptr, time_t expiration)

              Parameters

                     • ptr -- pointer to an initialized memcached_st struct

                     • expiration -- expiration as a unix timestamp or as relative expiration time in seconds

              Returns
                     memcached_return_t indicating success

DESCRIPTION

       memcached_flush()  is  used  to  wipe clean the contents of memcached(1) servers.  It will either do this
       immediately or expire the content based on the expiration time passed to the  method  (a  value  of  zero
       causes  an  immediate  flush).  The  operation is not atomic to multiple servers, just atomic to a single
       server. That is, it will flush the servers in the order that they were added.

RETURN VALUE

       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.
