49 :c:func:`memcached_pool()` is used to create a connection pool of objects you
50 may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short lived
51 :c:type:`memcached_st` objects. Please see :doc:`libmemcached_configuration` for details on the format of the configuration string.
53 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` is used to destroy the connection pool
54 created with :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()` and release all allocated
55 resources. It will return the pointer to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure
56 passed as an argument to :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()`, and returns the ownership of the pointer to the caller when created with :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()`, otherwise NULL is returned..
58 :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch()` is used to fetch a connection structure from the
59 connection pool. The relative_time argument specifies if the function should
60 block and wait for a connection structure to be available if we try
61 to exceed the maximum size. You need to specify time in relative time.
63 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release()` is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
65 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_set()` is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.
67 Both :c:func:`memcached_pool_release()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch()` are thread safe.
73 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` returns the pointer (and ownership) to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure used to create the pool. If connections are in use it returns NULL.
75 :c:func:`memcached_pool_pop()` returns a pointer to a :c:type:`memcached_st` structure from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).
77 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
79 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
81 If any methods returns MEMCACHED_IN_PROGRESS then a lock on the pool could not be obtained. If any of the parameters passed to any of these functions is invalid, MEMCACHED_INVALID_ARGUMENTS will be returned.
83 memcached_pool_fetch() may return MEMCACHED_TIMEOUT if a timeout occurs while waiting for a free memcached_st. MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND if no memcached_st was available.
