1.1 Mar 31, 2024 LIBMEMCACHEDUTIL(3)
Synopsis
#include<libmemcachedutil-1.0/util.h>
Compile and link with -lmemcachedutil -lmemcached
Threads And Processes
Do not try to access an instance of memcached_st from multiple threads at the same time. If you want to
access memcached from multiple threads you should either clone the memcached_st, or use the memcached
pool implementation. See memcached_pool().

using memcached_clone for short lived memcached_st objects. Please see libmemcachedConfiguration for
details on the format of the configuration string.
memcached_pool_destroy() is used to destroy the connection pool created with memcached_pool_create() and
release all allocated resources. It will return the pointer to the memcached_st structure passed as an
argument to memcached_pool_create(), and returns the ownership of the pointer to the caller when created
with memcached_pool_create(), otherwise NULL is returned..
memcached_pool_fetch() is used to fetch a connection structure from the connection pool. The
relative_time argument specifies if the function should block and wait for a connection structure to be
available if we try to exceed the maximum size. You need to specify time in relative time.
memcached_pool_release() is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
memcached_pool_behavior_get() and memcached_pool_behavior_set() is used to get/set behavior flags on all
connections in the pool.
Both memcached_pool_release() and memcached_pool_fetch() are thread safe.
RETURNVALUEmemcached_pool_destroy() returns the pointer (and ownership) to the memcached_st structure used to create
the pool. If connections are in use it returns NULL.
memcached_pool_pop() returns a pointer to a memcached_st structure from the pool (or NULL if an
allocation cannot be satisfied).
memcached_pool_release() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.
memcached_pool_behavior_get() and memcached_pool_behavior_get() return MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.
memcached_pool_fetch() may return MEMCACHED_TIMEOUT if a timeout occurs while waiting for a free
memcached_st instance, MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND if no memcached_st instance was available, respectively.
NOTE:
If any method returns MEMCACHED_IN_PROGRESS then a lock on the pool could not be obtained.
If any of the parameters passed to any of these functions is invalid, MEMCACHED_INVALID_ARGUMENTS will
be returned.
