-DESCRIPTION
-***********
-
-
-memcached_pool_create() is used to create a connection pool of objects you
-may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short
-lived \ ``memcached_st``\ objects. The mmc argument should be an
-initialised \ ``memcached_st``\ structure, and a successfull invocation of
-memcached_pool_create takes full ownership of the variable (until it
-is released by memcached_pool_destroy). The \ ``initial``\ argument
-specifies the initial size of the connection pool, and the \ ``max``\
-argument specifies the maximum size the connection pool should grow
-to. Please note that the library will allocate a fixed size buffer
-scaled to the max size of the connection pool, so you should not pass
-MAXINT or some other large number here.
-
-memcached_pool_destroy() is used to destroy the connection pool
-created with memcached_pool_create() and release all allocated
-resources. It will return the pointer to the \ ``memcached_st``\ structure
-passed as an argument to memcached_pool_create(), and returns the
-ownership of the pointer to the caller.
-
-memcached_pool_pop() is used to grab a connection structure from the
-connection pool. The block argument specifies if the function should

+connection pool. The relative_time argument specifies if the function should
block and wait for a connection structure to be available if we try
-to exceed the maximum size.
+to exceed the maximum size. You need to specify time in relative time.
-memcached_pool_push() is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_release` is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
-memcached_pool_behavior_set() and memcached_pool_behagior_get() is
-used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_set` is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.
+Both :c:func:`memcached_pool_release` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_fetch` are thread safe.

RETURN
-******
+------
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy` returns the pointer (and ownership) to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure used to create the pool. If connections are in use it returns NULL.
-memcached_pool_create() returns a pointer to the newly created
-memcached_pool_st structure. On an allocation failure, it returns
-NULL.
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_pop` returns a pointer to a :c:type:`memcached_st` structure from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).
-memcached_pool_destroy() returns the pointer (and ownership) to the
-memcached_st structure used to create the pool. If connections are in
-use it returns NULL.
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_release` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
-memcached_pool_pop() returns a pointer to a memcached_st structure
-from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).
+:c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
-memcached_pool_push() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.
+If any methods returns MEMCACHED_IN_PROGRESS then a lock on the pool could not be obtained. If any of the parameters passed to any of these functions is invalid, MEMCACHED_INVALID_ARGUMENTS will be returned.
-memcached_pool_behavior_get() and memcached_pool_behavior_get()
-returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.
+memcached_pool_fetch may return MEMCACHED_TIMEOUT if a timeout occurs while waiting for a free memcached_st. MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND if no memcached_st was available.
