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.
