52 Libmemcached implements a custom language for configuring and modifying
53 servers. By passing in an option string you can generate a \fBmemcached_st\fP object
54 that you can use in your application directly.
57 .B \-\-SERVER=<servername>:<optional_port>/?<optional_weight>
60 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.
63 .B \-\-SOCKET="<filepath>/?<optional_weight>"
66 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.
72 Verify that keys that are being used fit within the design of the protocol being used.
75 .B \-\-REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS
78 Enable the behavior MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_REMOVE_FAILED_SERVERS.
81 .B \-\-BINARY\-PROTOCOL
84 Force all connections to use the binary protocol.
87 .B \-\-BUFFER\-REQUESTS
90 Enable MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BUFFER_REQUESTS.
93 .B \-\-CONFIGURE\-FILE=
96 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.
99 .B \-\-CONNECT\-TIMEOUT=
102 Enable MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_CONNECT_TIMEOUT.
108 Set the distribution model used by the client. See :manpage:\(ga\(ga for more details.
114 Set the hashing alogrthm used for placing keys on servers.
117 .B \-\-HASH\-WITH\-NAMESPACE
120 When enabled the prefix key will be added to the key when determining which
121 server to store the data in.
127 Enable "no reply" for all calls that support this. It is highly recommended
128 that you use this option with the binary protocol only.
131 .B \-\-NUMBER\-OF\-REPLICAS=
134 Set the nummber of servers that keys will be replicated to.
137 .B \-\-RANDOMIZE\-REPLICA\-READ
140 Select randomly the server within the replication pool to read from.
146 When adding new servers always calculate their distribution based on sorted naming order.
152 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SUPPORT_CAS
158 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP
164 A namespace is a container that provides context for keys, only other
165 requests that know the namespace can access these values. This is
166 accomplished by prepending the namespace value to all keys.
167 .SS Mecached Pool Options:
173 Initial size of pool.
179 Maximize size of the pool.
186 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_TCP_NODELAY
189 .B \-\-TCP\-KEEPALIVE
192 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_TCP_KEEPALIVE
195 .B \-\-RETRY\-TIMEOUT=
198 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_RETRY_TIMEOUT
201 .B \-\-SERVER\-FAILURE\-LIMIT=
204 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SERVER_FAILURE_LIMIT
210 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SND_TIMEOUT
213 .B \-\-SOCKET\-RECV\-SIZE=
216 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SOCKET_RECV_SIZE
219 .B \-\-SOCKET\-SEND\-SIZE=
222 See \fImemcached_behavior_set(3)\fP for MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_SOCKET_SEND_SIZE
225 .B \-\-POLL\-TIMEOUT=
228 That sets the value of the timeout used by :manpage: \fIpoll()\fP.
231 .B \-\-IO\-BYTES\-WATERMARK=
235 .B \-\-IO\-KEY\-PREFETCH=
239 .B \-\-IO\-MSG\-WATERMARK=
255 Include a file in configuration. Unlike \-\-CONFIGURE\-FILE= this will not reset memcached_st
261 Reset memcached_st and continue to process.
267 End configutation processing.
273 End configutation processing and throw an error.
276 \fI\%memcached()\fP returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was
277 created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
282 const char *config_string= "\-\-SERVER=host10.example.com \-\-SERVER=host11.example.com \-\-SERVER=host10.example.com"
283 memcached_st *memc= memcached(config_string, strlen(config_string);
287 memcached_free(memc);
