  68 .SH DESCRIPTION
  69 .sp
  70 libmemcached(3) allows you to specify your own memory allocators, optimized
  71 for your application. This enables libmemcached to be used inside of applications that have their own malloc implementation.
  72 .sp
  73 memcached_set_memory_allocators() is used to set the memory allocators used
  74 by the memcached instance specified by ptr. Please note that you cannot
  75 override only one of the memory allocators, you have to specify a complete
  76 new set if you want to override one of them. All of the memory allocation
  77 functions should behave as specified in the C99 standard. Specify NULL as
  78 all functions to reset them to the default values.
  79 .sp
  80 memcached_get_memory_allocators() is used to get the currently used memory
  81 allocators by a mamcached handle.
  82 .sp
  83 memcached_get_memory_allocators_context() returns the void * that was
  84 passed in during the call to memcached_set_memory_allocators().
  85 .sp
  86 The first argument to the memory allocator functions is a pointer to a
  87 memcached structure, the is passed as const and you will need to clone
  88 it in order to make use of any operation which would modify it.
  89 .SH NOTES
  90 .sp
  91 In version 0.38 all functions were modified to have a context void pointer
  92 passed to them. This was so that customer allocators could have their
  93 own space for memory.
  94 .SH RETURN
  95 .sp
  96 memcached_set_memory_allocators() return MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success,
  97 and MEMCACHED_FAILURE if you don\(aqt pass a complete set of function pointers.
