30 =head1 DESCRIPTION
31
32 libmemcached(3) operates on a list of hosts which are stored in
33 memcached_server_st structures. You should not modify these structures
34 directly. Functions are provided to modify these structures (and more can be
35 added, just ask!).
36
37 memcached_server_list_free() deallocates all memory associated with the array
38 of memcached_server_st that you passed to it.
39
40 memcached_server_list_append() adds a server to the end of a
41 memcached_server_st array. On error null will be returned and the
42 memcached_return pointer you passed into the function will be set with the
43 appropriate error. If the value of port is zero, it is set to the default
44 port of a memcached server.
45
46 memcached_servers_parse() takes a string, the type that is used for the
47 command line applications, and parse it to an array of memcached_server_st.
48 The example is "localhost, foo:555, foo, bar". All hosts except foo:555 will
49 be set to the default port, while that host will have a port of 555.
50
51 memcached_server_error() can be used to look at the text of the last error
52 message sent by the server to to the client. Use memcached_server_error_reset()
53 to reset the message (this does not currently free up the memory associated
54 with the message).
