-memcached_create, memcached_free
+memcached_create, memcached_free - Create a memcached_st structure
=head1 LIBRARY
void memcached_free (memcached_st *ptr);
- memcached_st *memcached_clone(memcached_st *clone, memcached_st *source);
+ memcached_st *memcached_clone (memcached_st *destination, memcached_st *source);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
memcached_clone() is similar to memcached_create(3) but it copies the
defaults and list of servers from the source C<memcached_st>. 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 clone argument is NULL a C<memcached_st> will be allocated for you.
+If the destination argument is NULL a C<memcached_st> will be allocated for you.
To clean up memory associated with a C<memcached_st> 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.
+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.

=head1 RETURN
memcached_create() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created
(or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
memcached_clone() returns a pointer to the memcached_st that was created
-(or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. If you pass in
-a preallocated structure it must be cleared first (aka memset()).
+(or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL.
