47 DESCRIPTION
48 -----------
49
50
51 :c:func:`memcached_pool` is used to create a connection pool of objects you
52 may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short lived
53 :c:type:`memcached_st` objects. Please see :doc:`libmemcached_configuration`
54 for details on the format of the configuration string.
55
56 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy` is used to destroy the connection pool
57 created with :c:func:`memcached_pool_create` and release all allocated
58 resources. It will return the pointer to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure
59 passed as an argument to :c:func:`memcached_pool_create`, and returns the
60 ownership of the pointer to the caller when created with
61 :c:func:`memcached_pool_create`, otherwise NULL is returned..
62
63 :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch` is used to fetch a connection structure from the
64 connection pool. The relative_time argument specifies if the function should
65 block and wait for a connection structure to be available if we try
66 to exceed the maximum size. You need to specify time in relative time.
67
68 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` is used to return a connection structure back
69 to the pool.
70
71 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_set`
72 is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.
73
74 Both :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch` are
75 thread safe.
76
77 ------
78 RETURN
79 ------
80
81 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy` returns the pointer (and ownership) to the
82 :c:type:`memcached_st` structure used to create the pool. If connections are in
83 use it returns NULL.
84
85 :c:func:`memcached_pool_pop` returns a pointer to a :c:type:`memcached_st`
86 structure from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).
87
88 :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
89
90 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get`
91 returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
92
93 If any methods returns MEMCACHED_IN_PROGRESS then a lock on the pool could not
94 be obtained. If any of the parameters passed to any of these functions is
95 invalid, MEMCACHED_INVALID_ARGUMENTS will be returned.
96
97 memcached_pool_fetch may return MEMCACHED_TIMEOUT if a timeout occurs while
98 waiting for a free memcached_st. MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND if no memcached_st was
99 available.
