27 :program:`libmemcached` has the ability to query a memcached server (or
28 collection of servers) for their current state. Queries to find state return a
29 :c:type:`memcached_analysis_st` structure. You are responsible for freeing this structure.
31 :c:func:`memcached_analyze()` analyzes useful information based on the
32 provided servers and sets the result to the :c:type:`memcached_analysis_st`
33 structure. The return value must be freed by the calling application.
35 A command line tool, :c:func:`memstat()` with the option :option:`--analyze`,
36 is provided so that you do not have to write an application to use this method.
44 A pointer to the allocated :c:type:`memcached_analysis_st` structure on
45 success and a NULL pointer on failure. You may inspect the error detail by
46 checking the :c:type:`memcached_return_t` value.
48 Any method returning a :c:type:`memcached_analysis_st` expects you to free the
49 memory allocated for it.
