.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
-memcached_delete() is used to delete a particular key.
-memcached_delete_by_key() works the same, but it takes a master key to
-find the given value.

.SH RETURN
.sp
A value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP is returned
On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
-Use memcached_strerror() to translate this value to a printable string.
