1 Hi!
2
3 So what is this? It is a library in C for connecting to memcached servers
4 (http://danga.com/memcached/). It is also a collection of utilities designed
5 to work with memcached.
6
7 memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output
8 memflush - Flush the contents of your servers.
9 memrm - Remove a key(s) from the server.
10 memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output
11 memslap - Load generation utility (benchmark!)
12
13 The utilities are beta quality at this point. The library is in production
14 in many locations (upwards to 1000+ nodes).

16 Want to contribute? If you write more then three good patches, then I will
17 just ask you to commit directly to the tree. I am happy to have additional
18 people work on this project. Please checkout README.FIRST.

20 You will need a C99 compiler in order to compile this library. Currently we
21 actively support Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, and Solaris. A Windows port is
22 currently not supported, but one is listed on the homepage that is supported
23 by someone in the community.
