48 \fI\%memcached_delete()\fP is used to delete a particular key.
49 \fI\%memcached_delete_by_key()\fP works the same, but it takes a master key
50 to find the given value.
52 Expiration works by placing the item into a delete queue, which means that
53 it won\(aqt be possible to retrieve it by the "get" command. The "add" and
54 "replace" commands with this key will also fail (the "set" command will
55 succeed, however). After the time passes, the item is finally deleted from server memory.
57 Please note the the Danga memcached server removed tests for expiration in
61 A value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP is returned
62 On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
63 Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP to translate this value to a printable
66 If you are using the non\-blocking mode of the library, success only
67 means that the message was queued for delivery.
