56 memcached_create() is used to create a \fBmemcached_st\fP structure that will then
57 be used by other libmemcached(3) functions to communicate with the server. You
58 should either pass a statically declared \fBmemcached_st\fP to memcached_create() or
59 a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you.
61 Please note, when you write new application use memcached_create_with_options() over memcached_create().
63 memcached_clone() is similar to memcached_create(3) but it copies the
64 defaults and list of servers from the source \fBmemcached_st\fP. If you pass a null as
65 the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call to memcached_create().
66 If the destination argument is NULL a \fBmemcached_st\fP will be allocated for you.
68 memcached_servers_reset() allows you to zero out the list of servers that
71 To clean up memory associated with a \fBmemcached_st\fP structure you should pass
72 it to memcached_free() when you are finished using it. memcached_free() is
73 the only way to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using
76 You may wish to avoid using memcached_create(3) or memcached_clone(3) with a
77 stack based allocation. The most common issues related to ABI safety involve
78 heap allocated structures.
81 memcached_create() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created
82 (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
84 memcached_clone() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created
85 (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
