71 .SH DESCRIPTION
72 .sp
73 libmemcached(3) can optionally return a memcached_result_st which acts as a
74 result object. The result objects have added benefits over the character
75 pointer returns in that they are forward compatible with new return items
76 that future memcached servers may implement (the best current example of
77 this is the CAS return item). The structures can also be reused which will
78 save on calls to malloc(3). It is suggested that you use result objects over
79 char * return functions.
80 .sp
81 The structure of memcached_result_st has been encapsulated, you should not
82 write code to directly access members of the structure.
83 .sp
84 memcached_result_create() will either allocate memory for a
85 memcached_result_st or will initialize a structure passed to it.
86 .sp
87 memcached_result_free() will deallocate any memory attached to the
88 structure. If the structure was also alloacted, it will deallocate it.
89 .sp
90 memcached_result_key_value() returns the key value associated with the
91 current result object.
92 .sp
93 memcached_result_key_length() returns the key length associated with the
94 current result object.
95 .sp
96 memcached_result_value() returns the result value associated with the
97 current result object.
98 .sp
99 memcached_result_length() returns the result length associated with the
100 current result object.
101 .sp
102 memcached_result_flags() returns the flags associated with the
103 current result object.
104 .sp
105 memcached_result_cas() returns the cas associated with the
106 current result object. This value will only be available if the server
107 testss it.
108 .sp
109 memcached_result_set_value() takes a byte array and a size and sets
110 the result to this value. This function is used for trigger responses.
111 .sp
112 void memcached_result_set_flags() takes a result structure and stores
113 a new value for the flags field.
114 .sp
115 void memcached_result_set_expiration(A) takes a result structure and stores
116 a new value for the expiration field (this is only used by read through
117 triggers).
118 .sp
119 You may wish to avoid using memcached_result_create(3) with a
120 stack based allocation. The most common issues related to ABI safety involve
121 heap allocated structures.
122 .SH RETURN
123 .sp
124 Varies, see particular functions. All structures must have
125 memcached_result_free() called on them for cleanup purposes. Failure to
126 do this will result in leaked memory.
