Updating README about platforms
[awesomized/libmemcached] / README
1 Hi!
2
3 So what is this? Its a library in C for connectinng to memcached servers
4 (http://danga.com/memcached/). It is also a collection of utilities designed
5 to work with memcached.
6
7 memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output
8 memflush - Flush the contents of your servers.
9 memrm - Remove a key(s) from the serrver.
10 memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output
11 memslap - Load generation utility (benchmark!)
12
13 The utilities are beta quality at this point. The library is in production
14 in many locations (upwards to 600 nodes). For networks of more then 512
15 hosts using consistent hashing, you must update the target WHEEL size for
16 number of hosts * 4 in libmemcached/memcached_constants.h.

18 Want to contribute? If you write more then three good patches, then I will
19 just ask you to commit directly to the tree. I am happy to have additional
20 people work on this project. Please checkout README.FIRST.

22 You will need a C99 compiler in order to compile this library. Currently we
23 actively support Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, and Solaris. A Windows port is
24 currently not supported.
