-memcached_create, memcached_free
+memcached_create, memcached_free - Create a memcached_st structure
=head1 LIBRARY
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 clone argument is NULL a C<memcached_st> will be allocated for you.
+If you pass a pointer to a memory area for the clone pointer, make sure you
+memset it to 0 (unless you got the clone from a factory method in libmemcached).
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
(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.
+(or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. If you pass in
+a preallocated structure it must be cleared first (aka memset()).
