  42 DESCRIPTION
  43 -----------
  44
  45
  46 libmemcached(3) can optionally return a :c:type:`memcached_result_st` which
  47 acts as a result object. The result objects have added benefits over the
  48 character pointer returns, in that they are forward compatible with new
  49 return items that future memcached servers may implement (the best current
  50 example of this is the CAS return item). The structures can also be reused,
  51 which will save on calls to malloc(3). It is suggested that you use result
  52 objects over char \* return functions.
  53
  54 The structure of :c:type:`memcached_result_st` has been encapsulated, you should
  55 not write code to directly access members of the structure.
  56
  57 :c:func:`memcached_result_create` will either allocate memory for a
  58 :c:type:`memcached_result_st` or will initialize a structure passed to it.
  59
  60 :c:func:`memcached_result_free` will deallocate any memory attached to the
  61 structure. If the structure was also allocated, it will deallocate it.
  62
  63 :c:func:`memcached_result_key_value` returns the key value associated with the
  64 current result object.
  65
  66 :c:func:`memcached_result_key_length` returns the key length associated with
  67 the current result object.
  68
  69 :c:func:`memcached_result_value` returns the result value associated with the
  70 current result object.
  71
  72 :c:func:`memcached_result_take_value` returns and hands over the result value
  73 associated with the current result object. You must call free() to release this
  74 value, unless you have made use of a custom allocator. Use of a custom
  75 allocator requires that you create your own custom free() to release it.
  76
  77 :c:func:`memcached_result_length` returns the result length associated with
  78 the current result object.
  79
  80 :c:func:`memcached_result_flags` returns the flags associated with the
  81 current result object.
  82
  83 :c:func:`memcached_result_cas` returns the cas associated with the
  84 current result object. This value will only be available if the server
  85 tests it.
  86
  87 :c:func:`memcached_result_set_value` takes a byte array and a size and sets
  88 the result to this value. This function is used for trigger responses.
  89
  90 :c:func:`memcached_result_set_flags` takes a result structure and stores a new
  91 value for the flags field.
  92
  93 :c:func:`memcached_result_set_expiration` takes a result structure and stores
  94 a new value for the expiration field (this is only used by read through
  95 triggers).
  96
  97 You may wish to avoid using memcached_result_create(3) with a
  98 stack based allocation. The most common issues related to ABI safety involve
  99 heap allocated structures.

 107 Varies, see particular functions. All structures must have
 108 :c:func:`memcached_result_free` called on them for cleanup purposes. Failure
 109 to do this will result in leaked memory.
