NAME
       gearman_worker_clone - Gearmand Documentation, http://gearman.info/

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libgearman/gearman.h>

       gearman_worker_st *gearman_worker_create(gearman_worker_st *client)

       gearman_worker_st *gearman_worker_clone(gearman_worker_st *client, const gearman_worker_st *from)

       void gearman_worker_free(gearman_worker_st *client)

DESCRIPTION
       gearman_worker_create()	is used to create a gearman_worker_st  structure that will then be used by other libgearman(3) client functions to
       communicate with the server. You should either pass a statically declared gearman_worker_st  to gearman_worker_create) or a NULL. If a NULL
       passed in then a structure is allocated for you.

       gearman_worker_clone()  is  similar  to	gearman_worker_create()  but  it  copies  the  defaults  and list of servers from the source gear-
       man_worker_st. If you pass a null as the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call  to	gearman_worker_create().   If  the
       destination argument is NULL a gearman_worker_st  will be allocated for you.

       To  clean  up memory associated with a gearman_worker_st  structure you should pass it to gearman_worker_free() when you are finished using
       it. gearman_worker_free is the only way to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using the structure.

       You may wish to avoid using gearman_worker_create() or gearman_worker_clone() with a stack based allocation, ie the  first  parameter.  The
       most common issues related to ABI safety involve heap allocated structures.

RETURN VALUE
       gearman_worker_create()	returns a pointer to the gearman_worker_st that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns
       NULL.

       gearman_worker_clone() returns a pointer to the gearman_worker_st that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure,  it  returns
       NULL.
