  21 DESCRIPTION
  22 -----------
  23
  24 Libmemcached implements a custom language for configuring and modifying
  25 servers. By passing in an option string you can generate a ``memcached_st`` object
  26 that you can use in your application directly.
  27
  28 .. describe:: --SERVER=<servername>:<optional_port>/?<optional_weight>
  29
  30 Provide a servername to be used by the client. Providing a weight will cause weighting to occur with all hosts with each server getting a default weight of 1.
  31
  32 .. describe:: --SOCKET=\"<filepath>/?<optional_weight>\"
  33
  34 Provide a filepath to a UNIX socket file. Providing a weight will cause weighting to occur with all hosts with each server getting a default weight of 1.
  35
  36 .. describe:: --VERIFY-KEY
  37
  38 Verify that keys that are being used fit within the design of the protocol being used.
  39
  40 .. describe:: --REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS
  41
  42 Enable the behavior MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS.
  43
  44 .. describe:: --BINARY-PROTOCOL
  45
  46 Force all connections to use the binary protocol.
  47
  48 .. describe:: --BUFFER-REQUESTS
  49
  50 Enable MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BUFFER_REQUESTS.
  51
  52 .. describe:: --CONFIGURE-FILE=
  53
  54 Provide a configuration file to be used to load requests. Beware that by using a configuration file libmemcached will reset memcached_st based on information only contained in the file.
  55
  56 .. describe:: --CONNECT-TIMEOUT=
  57
  58 Enable MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT.
  59
  60 .. describe:: --DISTRIBUTION=
  61
  62 Set the distribution model used by the client.  See :manpage:`` for more details.
  63
  64 .. describe:: --HASH=
  65
  66 Set the hashing alogrthm used for placing keys on servers.
  67
  68 .. describe:: --HASH-WITH-NAMESPACE
  69
  70 When enabled the prefix key will be added to the key when determining which
  71 server to store the data in.
  72
  73 .. describe:: --NOREPLY
  74
  75 Enable "no reply" for all calls that support this. It is highly recommended
  76 that you use this option with the binary protocol only.
  77
  78 .. describe:: --NUMBER-OF-REPLICAS=
  79
  80 Set the nummber of servers that keys will be replicated to.
  81
  82 .. describe:: --RANDOMIZE-REPLICA-READ
  83
  84 Select randomly the server within the replication pool to read from.
  85
  86 .. describe:: --SORT-HOSTS
  87
  88 When adding new servers always calculate their distribution based on sorted naming order.
  89
  90 .. describe:: --SUPPORT-CAS
  91
  92 See :manpage:`memcached_behavior_set(3)` for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SUPPORT_CAS
  93
  94 .. describe:: --USE-UDP
  95
  96 See :manpage:`memcached_behavior_set(3)` for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP
  97
  98 .. describe:: --NAMESPACE=
  99
 100 A namespace is a container that provides context for keys, only other
 101 requests that know the namespace can access these values. This is
 102 accomplished by prepending the namespace value to all keys.
 103

 170 .. describe:: INCLUDE
 171
 172 Include a file in configuration. Unlike --CONFIGURE-FILE= this will not reset memcached_st
 173
 174 .. describe:: RESET
 175
 176 Reset memcached_st and continue to process.

 188 RETURN
 189 ------
 190
 191
 192 :c:func:`memcached()` returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was
 193 created (or initialized).  On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
