=head1 NAME memcached_create, memcached_free =head1 LIBRARY C Client Library for memcached (libmemcached, -lmemcached) =head1 SYNOPSIS #include memcached_st *memcached_create (memcached_st *ptr); void memcached_free (memcached_st *ptr); =head1 DESCRIPTION memcached_create() is used to create a C structure that will then be used by other libmemcached(3) functions to communicate with the server. You should either pass a statically declared C to memcached_create() or a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you. To clean up memory associated with a C 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. =head1 RETURN memcached_create() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. =head1 HOME To find out more information please check: L =head1 AUTHOR Brian Aker, Ebrian@tangent.orgE =head1 SEE ALSO memcached(1) libmemcached(3) memcached_strerror(3) =cut
