       Examples for libmemcached

DESCRIPTION

       For  full examples, test cases are found in tests/*.c in the main distribution. These are always up to date, and are used for each test run
       of the library.

CONNECTING TO SERVERS

       const char *config_string= "--SERVER=host10.example.com --SERVER=host11.example.com --SERVER=host10.example.com"
       memcached_st *memc= memcached(config_string, strlen(config_string);
       {
       ...
       }
	memcached_free(memc);

       In the above code you create a memcached_st object with three server by making use of memcached_create().

CREATING A POOL OF SERVERS

       Creating a pool of Servers:

       const char *config_string= "--SERVER=host10.example.com --SERVER=host11.example.com --SERVER=host10.example.com";

       memcached_pool_st* pool= memcached_pool(config_string, strlen(config_string));

       memcached_return_t rc;

       memcached_st *memc= memcached_pool_pop(pool, false, &rc);

       .... do work

       /*
	 Release the memc_ptr that was pulled from the pool
       */
       memcached_pool_push(pool, memc);

       /*
	 Destroy the pool.
       */
       memcached_pool_destroy(pool);

       In the above code you create a memcached_pool_st object with three server by making use of memcached_pool().

       When memcached_pool_destroy() all memory will be released that is associated with the pool.

ADDING A VALUE TO THE SERVER

       Adding a value to the Server:

       char *key= "foo";
       char *value= "value";

       memcached_return_t rc= memcached_set(memc, key, strlen(key), value, value_length, (time_t)0, (uint32_t)0);

       if (rc != MEMCACHED_SUCCESS)
       {
       ... // handle failure
       }

       It is best practice to always look at the return value of any operation.

FETCHING MULTIPLE VALUES

       memcached_return_t rc;
       char *keys[]= {"fudge", "son", "food"};
       size_t key_length[]= {5, 3, 4};
       unsigned int x;
       uint32_t flags;

       char return_key[MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY];
       size_t return_key_length;
       char *return_value;
       size_t return_value_length;

       rc= memcached_mget(memc, keys, key_length, 3);

       x= 0;
       while ((return_value= memcached_fetch(memc, return_key, &return_key_length,
					     &return_value_length, &flags, &rc)))
       {
	 free(return_value);
	 x++;
       }

       Notice that you freed values returned from memcached_fetch(). The define MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY is provided for usage.
