11
12 :param ptr: pointer to initialized `memcached_st` struct
13 :param key: the key to touch
14 :param key_length: the length of `key` without any terminating zero
15 :param expiration: new expiration as a unix timestamp or as relative expiration time in seconds
16 :returns: `memcached_return_t` indicating success

19
20 :param ptr: pointer to initialized `memcached_st` struct
21 :param group_key: the `key` namespace
22 :param group_key_length: the length of `group_key` without any terminating zero
23 :param key: the key to touch
24 :param key_length: the length of `key` without any terminating zero
25 :param expiration: new expiration as a unix timestamp or as relative expiration time in seconds
26 :returns: `memcached_return_t` indicating success

28 DESCRIPTION
29 -----------
30
31 :func:`memcached_touch` is used to update the expiration time on an existing key.
32 :func:`memcached_touch_by_key` works the same, but it takes a master key
33 to find the given value.
34
35 RETURN VALUE
36 ------------
37
38 A value of type :type:`memcached_return_t` is returned.
39 On success that value will be `MEMCACHED_SUCCESS`.
40 Use :func:`memcached_strerror` to translate this value to a printable
41 string.
