+libMemcached is an open source C/C++ client library and tools for the memcached server (http://memcached.org/). It has been designed to be light on memory usage, thread safe, and provide full access to server side methods.
libMemcached was designed to provide the greatest number of options to use Memcached. Some of the features provided:
"Memcached is a high-performance, distributed memory object caching
system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web
-applications by alleviating database load." `http://danga.com/memcached/ <http://danga.com/memcached/>`_
+applications by alleviating database load." `http://memcached.org/ <http://memcached.org/>`_
:program:`libmemcached` is a small, thread-safe client library for the
memcached protocol. The code has all been written to allow
a modular and consistent method of object distribution.
There are multiple implemented routing and hashing methods. See the
-:c:func:`memcached_behavior_set()` manpage for more information.
+:c:func:`memcached_behavior_set` manpage for more information.
All operations are performed against a :c:type:`memcached_st` structure.
These structures can either be dynamically allocated or statically
-allocated and then initialized by :c:func:`memcached_create()`. Functions have
+allocated and then initialized by :c:func:`memcached_create`. Functions have
been written in order to encapsulate the :c:type:`memcached_st`. It is not
recommended that you operate directly against the structure.
Nearly all functions return a :c:type:`memcached_return_t` value.
This value can be translated to a printable string with
-:c:type:`memcached_strerror()`.
+:c:type:`memcached_strerror`.
Objects are stored on servers by hashing keys. The hash value maps the key to a particular server. All clients understand how this hashing works, so it is possibly to reliably both push data to a server and retrieve data from a server.

Hope you enjoy it!
A number of constants have been provided for in the library.
-.. c:var:: MEMCACHED_DEFAULT_PORT
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_DEFAULT_PORT
The default port used by memcached(3).
-
-.. c:var:: MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY
Default maximum size of a key (which includes the null pointer). Master keys
have no limit, this only applies to keys used for storage.
-
-.. c:var:: MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY
Default size of key (which includes the null pointer).
-
-.. c:var:: MEMCACHED_STRIDE
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_STRIDE
This is the "stride" used in the consistent hash used between replicas.
-
-.. c:var:: MEMCACHED_MAX_HOST_LENGTH
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_MAX_HOST_LENGTH
Maximum allowed size of the hostname.
-.. c:var:: LIBMEMCACHED_VERSION_STRING
+.. c:macro:: LIBMEMCACHED_VERSION_STRING
String value of libmemcached version such as "1.23.4"
-.. c:var:: LIBMEMCACHED_VERSION_HEX
+.. c:macro:: LIBMEMCACHED_VERSION_HEX
Hex value of the version number. "0x00048000" This can be used for comparing versions based on number.
+.. c:macro:: MEMCACHED_PREFIX_KEY_MAX_SIZE
+
+ Maximum length allowed for namespacing of a key.

---------------------
When using threads or forked processes it is important to keep one instance
of :c:type:`memcached_st` per process or thread. Without creating your own
locking structures you can not share a single :c:type:`memcached_st`. However,
-you can call :c:func:`memcached_quit()` on a :c:type:`memcached_st` and then use the resulting cloned structure.
