NAME

       memcached_delete - 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.
