23 DESCRIPTION
24 -----------
25
26
27 libmemcached(3) has the ability to query a memcached server (or collection
28 of servers) for their current state. Queries to find state return a
29 \ ``memcached_analysis_st``\ structure. You are responsible for freeing this structure.
30
31 memcached_analyze() analyzes useful information based on the provided servers
32 and sets the result to the \ ``memcached_analysis_st``\ structure. The return value
33 must be freed by the calling application.
34
35 A command line tool, memstat(1) with the option --analyze, is provided so that
36 you do not have to write an application to use this method.

40 RETURN
41 ------
42
43
44 A pointer to the allocated \ ``memcached_analysis_st``\ structure on success and
45 a NULL pointer on failure. You may inspect the error detail by checking the
46 \ ``memcached_return_t``\ value.
47
48 Any method returning a \ ``memcached_analysis_st``\ expects you to free the
49 memory allocated for it.
