libmemcached(3) has the ability to query a memcached server (or collection
of servers) for their current state. Queries to find state return a
-\ ``memcached_stat_st``\ structure. You are responsible for freeing this structure.
-While it is possible to access the structure directly it is not advisable.
-<memcached_stat_get_value() has been provided to query the structure.
-
-memcached_stat_execute() uses the servers found in \ ``memcached_stat_st``\ and
-executes a "stat" command on each server. args is an optional argument that
-can be passed in to modify the behavior of "stats". You will need to supply
-a callback function that will be supplied each pair of values returned by
+:c:type:`memcached_stat_st` structure. You are responsible for freeing this structure. While it is possible to access the structure directly it is not advisable. :c:func:`memcached_stat_get_value()` has been provided to query the structure.

-memcached_stat() fetches an array of \ ``memcached_stat_st``\ structures containing
-the state of all available memcached servers. The return value must be freed
-by the calling application. If called with the \ ``MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP``\
-behavior set, a NULL value is returned and the error parameter is set to
-\ ``MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED``\ .

A command line tool, memstat(1), is provided so that you do not have to write
an application to do this.
