       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.
