SYNOPSIS
--------
#include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
+ Compile and link with -lmemcached
.. function:: char *memcached_fetch(memcached_st *ptr, char *key, size_t *key_length, size_t *value_length, uint32_t *flags, memcached_return_t *error)
.. deprecated:: 0.50
Use :func:`memcached_fetch_result` instead.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
-:func:`memcached_fetch` is used to fetch an individual value from the server. :func:`memcached_mget` must always be called before using this method.
-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 :type:`uint32_t` pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a :type:`size_t` pointer which will be filled with size of of the
-object, and a :type:`memcached_return_t` pointer to hold any error. The
-object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. `MEMCACHED_END` is returned by the \*error value when all objects that have been found are returned. The final value upon `MEMCACHED_END` is null.

Values returned by :func:`memcached_fetch` must be freed by the caller.
All of the above functions are not tested when the
`MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP` has been set. Executing any of these
-functions with this behavior on will result in `MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED` being returned, or for those functions which do not return a :type:`memcached_return_t`, the error function parameter will be set to `MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED`.

RETURN VALUE
------------
:func:`memcached_fetch` sets error to
to `MEMCACHED_END` upon successful conclusion.
+
`MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND` will be return if no keys at all were found.
`MEMCACHED_KEY_TOO_BIG` is set to error whenever :func:`memcached_fetch` was used
