45 DESCRIPTION
46 -----------
47
48
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.
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_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.
62
63 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
64
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.
66
67 Both :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch` are thread safe.
68
69 ------
70 RETURN
71 ------
72
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.
74
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).
76
77 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
78
79 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
80
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.
82
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.
