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 uint32_t pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, -a size_t pointer which will be filled with size of of the object, and a -memcached_return_t pointer to hold any error. The object will be returned -upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. Any object returned by -memcached_get() must be released by the caller application. -.sp -memcached_mget() is used to select multiple keys at once. For multiple key -operations it is always faster to use this function. This function always -works asynchronously. memcached_fetch() is then used to retrieve any keys -found. No error is given on keys that are not found. You must call either -memcached_fetch() or memcached_fetch_result() after a successful call to -memcached_mget(). You should continue to call these functions until they -return NULL (aka no more values). If you need to quit in the middle of a -memcached_get() call, execute a memcached_quit(). After you do this, you can -issue new queries against the server. -.sp -memcached_fetch() is used to fetch an individual value from the server. -memcached_mget() must always be called before using this method. You -must pass in a key and its length to fetch the object.

A uint32_t pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, -a size_t pointer which will be filled with size of of the object, and a -memcached_return_t pointer to hold any error. The object will be returned -upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. MEMCACHD_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 -memcached_fetch() musted be free\(aqed by the caller. memcached_fetch() will -be DEPRECATED in the near future, memcached_fetch_result() should be used -instead. -.sp -memcached_fetch_result() is used to return a memcached_result_st(3) structure -from a memcached server. The result object is forward compatible with changes -to the server. For more information please refer to the memcached_result_st(3) -help. This function will dynamically allocate a result structure for you -if you do not pass one to the function. -.sp -memcached_fetch_execute() is a callback function for result sets. Instead -of returning the results to you for processing, it passes each of the -result sets to the list of functions you provide. It passes to the function -a memcached_st that can be cloned for use in the called function (it can not -be used directly). It also passes a result set which does not need to be freed. -Finally it passes a "context". This is just a pointer to a memory reference -you supply the calling function. Currently only one value is being passed -to each function call. In the future there will be an option to allow this -to be an array. -.sp -memcached_mget_execute() and memcached_mget_execute_by_key() is -similar to memcached_mget(), but it may trigger the supplied callbacks -with result sets while sending out the queries. If you try to perform -a really large multiget with memcached_mget() you may encounter a -deadlock in the OS kernel (we fail to write data to the socket because -the input buffer is full). memcached_mget_execute() solves this -problem by processing some of the results before continuing sending -out requests. Please note that this function is only available in the -binary protocol. +object.

The +object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP is returned by the *error value when all objects that have been found are returned. The final value upon \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP is null. .sp -memcached_get_by_key() and memcached_mget_by_key() behave in a similar nature -as memcached_get() and memcached_mget(). The difference is that they take -a master key that is used for determining which server an object was stored -if key partitioning was used for storage. +Values returned by \fI\%memcached_fetch()\fP must be freed by the caller. .sp -All of the above functions are not testsed when the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fPhas been set.
