49 =head1 DESCRIPTION
50
51 libmemcached(3) performs operations on a list of hosts. The order of these
52 hosts determine routing to keys. Functions are provided to add keys to
53 memcached_st structures. To manipulate lists of servers see
54 memcached_server_st(3).
55
56 memcached_server_count() provides you a count of the current number of
57 servers being used by a C<memcached_st> structure.
58
59 memcached_server_add() pushes a single TCP server into the C<memcached_st>
60 structure. This server will be placed at the end. Duplicate servers are
61 allowed, so duplication is not checked. Executing this function with the
62 C<MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP> behavior set will result in a
63 C<MEMCACHED_INVALID_HOST_PROTOCOL>.
64
65 memcached_server_add_udp() pushes a single UDP server into the C<memcached_st>
66 structure. This server will be placed at the end. Duplicate servers are
67 allowed, so duplication is not checked. Executing this function with out
68 setting the C<MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP> behavior will result in a
69 C<MEMCACHED_INVALID_HOST_PROTOCOL>.
70
71 memcached_server_add_unix_socket() pushes a single UNIX socket into the
72 C<memcached_st> structure. This UNIX socket will be placed at the end.
73 Duplicate servers are allowed, so duplication is not checked. The length
74 of the filename must be one character less then MEMCACHED_MAX_HOST_LENGTH.
75
76 memcached_server_push() pushes an array of C<memcached_server_st> into
77 the C<memcached_st> structure. These servers will be placed at the
78 end. Duplicate servers are allowed, so duplication is not checked. A
79 copy is made of structure so the list provided (and any operations on
80 the list) are not saved.
81
82 memcached_server_by_key() allows you to provide a key and retrieve the
83 server which would be used for assignment. This structure is cloned
84 from its original structure and must be freed. If NULL is returned you
85 should consult *error. The returning structure should be freed with
86 memcached_server_free().
87
88 memcached_server_get_last_disconnect() returns a pointer to the last server
89 for which there was a connection problem. It does not mean this particular
90 server is currently dead but if the library is reporting a server is,
91 the returned server is a very good candidate.
92
93 memcached_server_cursor() takes a memcached_st and loops through the
94 list of hosts currently in the cursor calling the list of callback
95 functions provided. You can optionally pass in a value via
96 context which will be provided to each callback function. An error
97 return from any callback will terminate the loop. memcached_server_cursor()
98 is passed the original caller memcached_st in its current state.
