-memcached_get() is used to fetch an individual value from the server. You
-must pass in a key and its length to fetch the object. You must supply
+\fI\%memcached_get()\fP is used to fetch an individual value from the server.
+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. You must supply
+object.  A \fBuint32_t\fP pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a \fBsize_t\fP pointer which will be filled with size of of
+the object, and a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP pointer to hold any error. The
+object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. Any
+object returned by \fI\%memcached_get()\fP must be released by the caller
+application.
+.sp
+\fI\%memcached_mget()\fP 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.
+.sp
+To retrieve data after a successful execution of \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP, you will need to
+call \fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP.  You should continue to call this function until
+it returns a NULL (i.e. no more values). If you need to quit in the middle of a
+\fI\%memcached_mget()\fP call, you can execute a \fBmemcached_quit()\fP, those this is not required.
+.sp
+\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP is used to fetch an individual value from the server. \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP 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 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. \fBMEMCACHD_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. Values
-returned by memcached_fetch() must be freed 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
+object.  A \fBuint32_t\fP pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a \fBsize_t\fP pointer which will be filled with size of of the
+object, and a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP pointer to hold any error. 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.

+\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP is used to return a \fBmemcached_result_st\fP structure from a memcached server. The result object is forward compatible
+with changes to the server. For more information please refer to the
+\fBmemcached_result_st\fP help. This function will dynamically allocate a
+result structure for you if you do not pass one to the function.
+.sp
+\fI\%memcached_fetch_execute()\fP 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 (it will 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.
-.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.
-.sp
-All of the above functions are not tested when the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fPhas been set. Executing any of these functions with this behavior on will result in
-\fBMEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP being returned, or for those functions which do not return
-a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP, the error function parameter will be set to
-\fBMEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP.

+\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP sets error
 to \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP upon successful conclusion.

-MEMCACHED_KEY_TOO_BIG is set to error whenever memcached_fetch() was used

-key allowed for the original memcached ascii server.
