DESCRIPTION

       libmemcached(3)  allows  you  to  specify  your  own memory allocators, optimized for your
       application. This enables libmemcached to be used inside of applications that  have  their
       own malloc implementation.

       memcached_set_memory_allocators()  is  used  to  set  the  memory  allocators  used by the
       memcached instance specified by ptr. Please note that you cannot override only one of  the
       memory  allocators,  you have to specify a complete new set if you want to override one of
       them. All of the memory allocation  functions  should  behave  as  specified  in  the  C99
       standard. Specify NULL as all functions to reset them to the default values.

       memcached_get_memory_allocators() is used to get the currently used memory allocators by a
       mamcached handle.

       memcached_get_memory_allocators_context() returns the void * that was passed in during the
       call to memcached_set_memory_allocators().

       The  first  argument  to  the  memory  allocator  functions  is  a  pointer to a memcached
       structure, the is passed as const and you will need to clone it in order to  make  use  of
       any operation which would modify it.

NOTES

       In version 0.38 all functions were modified to have a context void pointer passed to them.
       This was so that customer allocators could have their own space for memory.

RETURN

       memcached_set_memory_allocators()   return    MEMCACHED_SUCCESS    upon    success,    and
       MEMCACHED_FAILURE if you don't pass a complete set of function pointers.
