33 DESCRIPTION
34 -----------
35
36
37 :c:func:`memcached_pool()` is used to create a connection pool of objects you
38 may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short lived
39 :c:type:`memcached_st` objects. Please see :manpage:`libmemcached_configuration` for details on the format of the configuration string.
40
41 DEPRECATED :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()` is used to create a connection pool of objects you may use to remove the overhead of using
42 :c:type:`memcached_clone` for short lived :c:type:`memcached_st` objects.
43 The mmc argument should be an initialised :c:type:`memcached_st` structure,
44 and a successfull invocation of :c:type:`memcached_pool_create` takes full
45 ownership of the variable (until it is released by
46 :c:type:`memcached_pool_destroy`). The :c:type:`initial` argument specifies
47 the initial size of the connection pool, and the :c:type:`max` argument
48 specifies the maximum size the connection pool should grow to. Please note
49 that the library will allocate a fixed size buffer scaled to the max size of
50 the connection pool, so you should not pass MAXINT or some other large
51 number here.
52
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..
57
58 :c:func:`memcached_pool_pop()` is used to grab a connection structure from the
59 connection pool. The block 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.
62
63 :c:func:`memcached_pool_push()` is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
64
65 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_set()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behagior_get()` is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.

69 RETURN
70 ------
71
72
73 :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()` returns a pointer to the newly created
74 :c:type:`memcached_pool_st` structure. On an allocation failure, it returns
75 NULL.
76
77 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` returns the pointer (and ownership) to the
78 :c:type:`memcached_st` structure used to create the pool. If connections are in
79 use it returns NULL.
80
81 :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).
82
83 :c:func:`memcached_pool_push()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
84
85 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
