  62 .SH DESCRIPTION
  63 .sp
  64 \fI\%memcached_set()\fP, \fI\%memcached_add()\fP, and \fI\%memcached_replace()\fP are all used to store information on the server. All methods take a key, and its length to store the object. Keys are currently limited to 250 characters when using either a version of memcached(1) which is 1.4 or below, or when using the text protocol. You must supply both a value and a length. Optionally you
  65 store the object. Keys are currently limited to 250 characters by the
  66 memcached(1) server. You must supply both a value and a length. Optionally you
  67 may test an expiration time for the object and a 16 byte value (it is meant to be used as a bitmap). "flags" is a 4byte space that is stored alongside of the main value. Many sub libraries make use of this field, so in most cases users should avoid making use of it.
  68 .sp
  69 \fI\%memcached_set()\fP will write an object to the server. If an object
  70 already exists it will overwrite what is in the server. If the object does not
  71 exist it will be written. If you are using the non\-blocking mode this function
  72 will always return true unless a network error occurs.
  73 .sp
  74 \fI\%memcached_replace()\fP replaces an object on the server. If the object is not found on the server an error occurs.
  75 .sp
  76 \fI\%memcached_add()\fP adds an object to the server. If the object is found on the server an error occurs, otherwise the value is stored.
  77 .sp
  78 \fBmemcached_cas()\fP overwrites data in the server as long as the "cas"
  79 value is still the same in the server. You can get the cas value of a result by
  80 calling \fBmemcached_result_cas()\fP on a memcached_result_st(3) structure. At the point
  81 that this note was written cas is still buggy in memached. Turning on tests
  82 for it in libmemcached(3) is optional. Please see memcached_set for
  83 information on how to do this.
  84 .sp
  85 \fI\%memcached_set_by_key()\fP, \fI\%memcached_add_by_key()\fP, and \fI\%memcached_replace_by_key()\fP methods all behave in a similar method as the non
  86 key methods. The difference is that they use their group_key parameter to map
  87 objects to particular servers.
  88 .sp
  89 If you are looking for performance, \fI\%memcached_set()\fP with non\-blocking IO is the fastest way to store data on the server.
  90 .sp
  91 All of the above functions are testsed with the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fP behavior enabled. However, when using these operations with this behavior
  92 on, there are limits to the size of the payload being sent to the server.
  93 The reason for these limits is that the Memcached Server does not allow
  94 multi\-datagram requests and the current server implementation sets a datagram
  95 size to 1400 bytes. Due to protocol overhead, the actual limit of the user supplied data is less than 1400 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as, well as the operation being
  96 executed. When running with the binary protocol, \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL\fP, the size of the key,value, flags and expiry combined may not
  97 exceed 1368 bytes. When running with the ASCII protocol, the exact limit fluctuates depending on which function is being executed and whether the function is a cas operation or not. For non\-cas ASCII set operations, there are at least
  98 1335 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix, and value; for cas
  99 ASCII operations there are at least 1318 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix and value. If the total size of the command, including overhead,
 100 exceeds 1400 bytes, a \fBMEMCACHED_WRITE_FAILURE\fP will be returned.
 101 .SH RETURN
 102 .sp
 103 All methods return a value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP.
 104 On success the value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
 105 Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP to translate this value to a printable string.
 106 .sp
 107 For \fI\%memcached_replace()\fP and \fI\%memcached_add()\fP, \fBMEMCACHED_NOTSTORED\fP is a legitmate error in the case of a collision.
