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