-memcached_create() is used to create a memcached_st structure that will then
-be used by other libmemcached functions to communicate with the server. You
-should either pass a statically declared memcached_st to memcached_create or
+memcached_create() is used to create a C<memcached_st> structure that will then
+be used by other libmemcached(3) functions to communicate with the server. You
+should either pass a statically declared C<memcached_st> to memcached_create() or
 a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you.
 
-To clean up memory associated with a memcached_st structure you should pass
+memcached_clone() is similar to memcached_create(3) but it copies the
+defaults and list of servers from the source C<memcached_st>. If you pass a null as
+the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call to memcached_create().
+If the clone argument is NULL a C<memcached_st> will be allocated for you. 
+
+To clean up memory associated with a C<memcached_st> structure you should pass
 it to memcached_free() when you are finished using it. memcached_free() is
 the only way to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using
 the structure.
