:c:func:`memcached_mget()` is used to select multiple keys at once. For
-multiple key operations it is always faster to use this function. This function always works asynchronously. :c:func:`memcached_fetch()` is then used to
-retrieve any keys found. No error is given on keys that are not found. You
-must call either :c:func:`memcached_fetch()` or
-:c:func:`memcached_fetch_result()` after a successful call to
-:c:func:`memcached_mget()`. You should continue to call these functions until
-they return NULL (aka no more values). If you need to quit in the middle of a
-:c:func:`memcached_get()` call, execute a :c:func:`memcached_quit()`. After you do this, you can issue new queries against the server.

You must pass in a key and its length to fetch the object. You must supply
three pointer variables which will give you the state of the returned
object. A :c:type:`uint32_t` pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a :c:type:`size_t` pointer which will be filled with size of of the
object, and a :c:type:`memcached_return_t` pointer to hold any error. The
object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. :c:type:`MEMCACHD_END` is returned by the \*error value when all objects that have been found are returned. The final value upon :c:type:`MEMCACHED_END` is null.
-Values returned by :c:func:`memcached_fetch()` must be freed by the caller.
-:c:func:`memcached_fetch()` will be DEPRECATED in the near future,
-c:func:`memcached_fetch_result()` should be used instead.
:c:func:`memcached_fetch_result()` is used to return a :c:type:`memcached_result_st` structure from a memcached server. The result object is forward compatible
with changes to the server. For more information please refer to the
