33 DESCRIPTION
34 -----------
35
36
37 :c:func:`memcached_pool()` is used to create a connection pool of objects you
38 may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short lived
39 :c:type:`memcached_st` objects. Please see :doc:`libmemcached_configuration` for details on the format of the configuration string.
40
41 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` is used to destroy the connection pool
42 created with :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()` and release all allocated
43 resources. It will return the pointer to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure
44 passed as an argument to :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()`, and returns the ownership of the pointer to the caller when created with :c:func:`memcached_pool_create()`, otherwise NULL is returned..
45
46 :c:func:`memcached_pool_pop()` is used to grab a connection structure from the
47 connection pool. The block argument specifies if the function should
48 block and wait for a connection structure to be available if we try
49 to exceed the maximum size.
50
51 :c:func:`memcached_pool_push()` is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.
52
53 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_set()` is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.
54

56 ------
57 RETURN
58 ------
59
60 :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` returns the pointer (and ownership) to the :c:type:`memcached_st` structure used to create the pool. If connections are in use it returns NULL.
61
62 :c:func:`memcached_pool_pop()` returns a pointer to a :c:type:`memcached_st` structure from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).
63
64 :c:func:`memcached_pool_push()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
65
66 :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` and :c:func:`memcached_pool_behavior_get()` returns :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` upon success.
