  46 .SH DESCRIPTION
  47 .sp
  48 \fBmemcached_cas()\fP overwrites data in the server as long as the "cas"
  49 value is still the same in the server. You can get the cas value of a result
  50 by calling \fBmemcached_result_cas()\fP on a memcached_result_st(3)
  51 structure. At the point that this note was written cas is still buggy in memached. Turning on tests for it in libmemcached(3) is optional. Please see
  52 \fBmemcached_set()\fP for information on how to do this.
  53 .sp
  54 \fBmemcached_cas_by_key()\fP method behaves in a similar method as the non
  55 key methods. The difference is that it uses the \fBgroup_key\fP parameter
  56 to map objects to particular servers.
  57 .sp
  58 \fBmemcached_cas()\fP is testsed with the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fP behavior enabled. However, when using these operations with this behavior
  59 on, there are limits to the size of the payload being sent to the server.  The
  60 reason for these limits is that the Memcached Server does not allow
  61 multi\-datagram requests and the current server implementation sets a datagram
  62 size to 1400 bytes. Due to protocol overhead, the actual limit of the user
  63 supplied data is less than 1400 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as,
  64 well as the operation being executed. When running with the binary protocol,
  65 \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL\fP, the size of the key,value,
  66 flags and expiry combined may not exceed 1368 bytes. When running with the
  67 ASCII protocol, the exact limit fluctuates depending on which function is
  68 being executed and whether the function is a cas operation or not. For
  69 non\-cas ASCII set operations, there are at least 1335 bytes available to
  70 split among the key, key_prefix, and value; for cas ASCII operations there
  71 are at least 1318 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix and value. If the total size of the command, including overhead, exceeds 1400 bytes, a \fBMEMCACHED_WRITE_FAILURE\fP will be returned.
  72 .SH RETURN
  73 .sp
  74 All methods return a value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP.
  75 On success the value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
  76 Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP to translate this value to a printable
  77 string.
