DESCRIPTION
-----------
-libmemcached(3) has the ability to query a memcached server (or collection
-of servers) for their current state. Queries to find state return a
-: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. :func:`memcached_stat_get_value` has been provided to query the structure.
+`libmemcached` has the ability to query a :manpage:`memcached(1)` server (or

+:type:`memcached_stat_st` structure. You are responsible for freeing this

+advisable. :func:`memcached_stat_get_value` has been provided to query the structure.
-:func:`memcached_stat_execute` uses the servers found in :type:`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".

the memcached server.
-:func:`memcached_stat` fetches an array of :type:`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`.

-:func:`memcached_stat_servername` can be used standalone without a :type:`memcached_st` to obtain the state of a particular server. "args" is used to define a particular state object (a list of these are not provided for by either
-the :func:`memcached_stat_get_keys` call nor are they defined in the memcached protocol). You must specify the hostname and port of the server you want to
