  11   #include <memcached.h>
  12
  13   memcached_return
  14     memcached_increment (memcached_st *ptr,
  15                          char *key, size_t key_length,
  16                          unsigned int offset,
  17                          uint64_t *value);
  18
  19   memcached_return
  20     memcached_decrement (memcached_st *ptr,
  21                          char *key, size_t key_length,
  22                          unsigned int offset,
  23                          uint64_t *value);

  25 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  26
  27 memcached(1) servers have the ability to increment and decrement keys
  28 (overflow and underflow are not detected). This gives you the ability to use
  29 memcached to generate shared sequences of values.
  30
  31 memcached_increment() takes a key and keylength and increments the value by
  32 the offset passed to it. The value is then returned via the unsigned int
  33 value pointer you pass to it.
  34
  35 memcached_decrement() takes a key and keylength and decrements the value by
  36 the offset passed to it. The value is then returned via the unsigned int
  37 value pointer you pass to it.
  38
  39 =head1 RETURN
  40
  41 A value of type C<memcached_return> is returned.
  42 On success that value will be C<MEMCACHED_SUCCESS>.
  43 Use memcached_strerror() to translate this value to a printable string.
