345 <p><code class=

346 your application. This enables libmemcached to be used inside of applications
347 that have their own malloc implementation.

</span></code></a> is used to set the memory allocators
349 used by the memcached instance specified by ptr. Please note that you cannot
350 override only one of the memory allocators, you have to specify a complete new
351 set if you want to override one of them. All of the memory allocation functions
352 should behave as specified in the C99 standard. Specify NULL as all functions to
353 reset them to the default values.
