NAME
       memcached_clone - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libmemcached/memcached.h>

       memcached_st

       memcached_st* memcached_create(memcached_st *ptr)

       void memcached_free(memcached_st *ptr)

       memcached_st* memcached_clone(memcached_st *destination, memcached_st *source)

       void memcached_servers_reset(memcached_st)

       Compile and link with -lmemcached

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

       Please note, when you write new application use memcached() over memcached_create().

       memcached_clone() is similar to memcached_create() but it copies the defaults and list of servers from the source memcached_st. If you pass
       a null as the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call to memcached_create().	If the	destination  argument  is  NULL  a
       memcached_st will be allocated for you.

       memcached_servers_reset() allows you to zero out the list of servers that the memcached_st has.

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

       You may wish to avoid using memcached_create(3) or memcached_clone(3) with a stack based allocation. The most common issues related to  ABI
       safety involve heap allocated structures.

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

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