DESCRIPTION
-----------
-"Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching
-system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web
-applications by alleviating database load."
-`http://memcached.org/ `_
-
-`libmemcached` is a small, thread-safe client library for the
-memcached protocol. The code has all been written to allow
-for both web and embedded usage. It handles the work behind routing
-individual keys to specific servers specified by the developer (and values are
-matched based on server order as supplied by the user). It implements
-a modular and consistent method of object distribution.

There are multiple implemented routing and hashing methods. See the

-All operations are performed against a :type:`memcached_st` structure.
-These structures can either be dynamically allocated or statically
-allocated and then initialized by :func:`memcached_create`. Functions have
-been written in order to encapsulate the :type:`memcached_st`. It is not
-recommended that you operate directly against the structure.

Objects are stored on servers by hashing keys. The hash value maps the key to a
particular server. All clients understand how this hashing works, so it is
possibly to reliably both push data to a server and retrieve data from a server.
-Group keys can be optionally used to group sets of objects with servers.
+Group keys can be optionally used to group sets of objects with servers.
Namespaces are supported, and can be used to partition caches so that multiple
applications can use the same memcached servers.
Some features of the library must be enabled through `memcached_behavior_set`.
-CONSTANTS
----------
-
-A number of constants have been provided for in the library.

THREADS AND PROCESSES
---------------------
No global variables are used in this library.
-:type:`memcached_st` structures are thread-safe, but when using threads or
-forked processes it is important to keep one instance of :type:`memcached_st`
-per process or thread. Without creating your own locking structures you can not
-share a single :type:`memcached_st`. However, you can call
-:func:`memcached_quit` on a :type:`memcached_st` and then use the resulting
-cloned structure.
