You should either pass a statically declared \fBmemcached_st\fP to memcached_create() or a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you. .sp Please note, when you write new application use memcached_create_with_options() over memcached_create(). .sp memcached_clone() is similar to memcached_create(3) but it copies the defaults and list of servers from the source \fBmemcached_st\fP. If you pass a null as the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call to memcached_create(). If the destination argument is NULL a \fBmemcached_st\fP will be allocated for you. .sp memcached_servers_reset() allows you to zero out the list of servers that the memcached_st has. .sp To clean up memory associated with a \fBmemcached_st\fP structure you should pass it to memcached_free() when you are finished using it. memcached_free() is the only way to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using the structure. .sp You may wish to avoid using memcached_create(3) or memcached_clone(3) with a stack based allocation. The most common issues related to ABI safety involve heap allocated structures. .SH RETURN .sp memcached_create() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. .sp memcached_clone() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. .SH HOME .sp To find out more information please check: \fI\%http://libmemcached.org/\fP .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fImemcached(1)\fP \fIlibmemcached(3)\fP \fImemcached_strerror(3)\fP .SH AUTHOR Brian Aker .SH COPYRIGHT 2011, Brian Aker DataDifferential, http://datadifferential.com/ .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .\" .
