exist it will be written. If you are using the non-blocking mode this function

+All of the above functions are tested with the `MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP`
+behavior enabled. However, when using these operations with this behavior
on, there are limits to the size of the payload being sent to the server.
The reason for these limits is that the Memcached Server does not allow
multi-datagram requests and the current server implementation sets a datagram
-size to 1400 bytes. Due to protocol overhead, the actual limit of the user supplied data is less than 1400 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as, well as the operation being
-executed. When running with the binary protocol, `MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL`, the size of the key,value, flags and expiry combined may not
-exceed 1368 bytes. When running with the ASCII protocol, the exact limit fluctuates depending on which function is being executed and whether the function is a cas operation or not. For non-cas ASCII set operations, there are at least
-1335 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix, and value; for cas
-ASCII operations there are at least 1318 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix and value. If the total size of the command, including overhead,
