memcached_callback - libmemcached Documentation
Contents
Description
libmemcached can have callbacks set key execution points. These either provide function calls at points
in the code, or return pointers to structures for particular usages.
memcached_callback_get() takes a callback flag and returns the structure or function set by
memcached_callback_set().
memcached_callback_set() changes the function/structure assigned by a callback flag. No connections are
reset.
You can use MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_USER_DATA to provide custom context if required for any of the callbacks.

memcached_callback - libmemcached Documentation
Return Value
memcached_callback_get() returns the function or structure that was provided. Upon error, nothing is
set, NULL is returned, and the memcached_return_t argument is set to MEMCACHED_FAILURE.
memcached_callback_set() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon successful setting, otherwise MEMCACHED_FAILURE
on error.

When memcached_free() or memcached_reset is called this function will be executed. At the
point of its execution all connections are closed.
Its signature is:
typedefmemcached_return_t(*memcached_cleanup_fn)(constmemcached_st*ptr)enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_CLONE_FUNCTION
When memcached_clone() is called this function will be executed.
Its signature is:
typedefmemcached_return_t(*memcached_clone_fn)(memcached_st*destination,constmemcached_st*source)enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_PREFIX_KEY
See MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_NAMESPACE.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_NAMESPACE
You can set a value which will be used to create a domain for your keys. The value
specified here will be prefixed to each of your keys. The value can not be greater then
MEMCACHED_MAX_NAMESPACE - 1 and will reduce MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY by the value of your key.
The prefix key is only applied to the primary key, not the master key. MEMCACHED_FAILURE
will be returned if no key is set. In the case of a key which is too long,
MEMCACHED_BAD_KEY_PROVIDED will be returned.
If you set a value with the value being NULL then the prefix key is disabled.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_USER_DATA
This allows you to store a pointer to a specific piece of data. This can be retrieved from
inside of memcached_fetch_execute(). Cloning a memcached_st will copy the pointer to the
clone.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_MALLOC_FUNCTION
Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_REALLOC_FUNCTION
Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_FREE_FUNCTION
Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.
enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_GET_FAILURE
This function implements the read through cache behavior. On failure of retrieval this
callback will be called.
You are responsible for populating the result object provided. This result object will then
be stored in the server and returned to the calling process.
You must clone the memcached_st in order to make use of it. The value will be stored only
if you return MEMCACHED_SUCCESS or MEMCACHED_BUFFERED. Returning MEMCACHED_BUFFERED will
cause the object to be buffered and not sent immediately (if this is the default behavior
based on your connection setup this will happen automatically).
The prototype for this is:
typedefmemcached_return_t(*memcached_trigger_key)(memcached_st*ptr,char*key,size_tkey_length,memcached_result_st*result)enumeratorMEMCACHED_CALLBACK_DELETE_TRIGGER
This function implements a trigger upon successful deletion of a key. The memcached_st
structure will need to be cloned in order to make use of it.
The prototype for this is:
typedefmemcached_return_t(*memcached_trigger_delete_key)(memcached_st*ptr,char*key,size_tkey_length)
