-memcached_create() is used to create a memcached_st structure that will then
-be used by other libmemcached functions to communicate with the server. You
-should either pass a statically declared memcached_st to memcached_create or

+should either pass a statically declared C<memcached_st> to memcached_create() or
a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you.

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.
