It is also a collection of utilities designed to work with memcached. memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output memflush - Flush the contents of your servers. -memrm - Remove a key(s) from the serrver. +memrm - Remove a key(s) from the server. memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output +memslap - Load generation utility (benchmark!) -This code is still in Alpha. More tests have currently been done on the -library code then on the utilities. +The utilities are beta quality at this point. The library is in production +in many locations (upwards to 600 nodes).
