70 .SH DESCRIPTION
71 .sp
72 \fImemcached(1)\fP servers have the ability to increment and decrement keys
73 (overflow and underflow are not detected). This gives you the ability to use
74 memcached to generate shared sequences of values.
75 .sp
76 memcached_increment() takes a key and keylength and increments the value by
77 the offset passed to it. The value is then returned via the unsigned int
78 value pointer you pass to it.
79 .sp
80 memcached_decrement() takes a key and keylength and decrements the value by
81 the offset passed to it. The value is then returned via the unsigned int
82 value pointer you pass to it.
83 .sp
84 memcached_increment_with_initial() takes a key and keylength and increments
85 the value by the offset passed to it. If the object specified by key does
86 not exist, one of two things may happen: If the expiration value is
87 MEMCACHED_EXPIRATION_NOT_ADD, the operation will fail. For all other
88 expiration values, the operation will succeed by seeding the value for that
89 key with a initial value to expire with the provided expiration time. The
90 flags will be set to zero.The value is then returned via the unsigned int
91 value pointer you pass to it.
92 .sp
93 memcached_decrement_with_initial() takes a key and keylength and decrements
94 the value by the offset passed to it. If the object specified by key does
95 not exist, one of two things may happen: If the expiration value is
96 MEMCACHED_EXPIRATION_NOT_ADD, the operation will fail. For all other
97 expiration values, the operation will succeed by seeding the value for that
98 key with a initial value to expire with the provided expiration time. The
99 flags will be set to zero.The value is then returned via the unsigned int
100 value pointer you pass to it.
101 .sp
102 memcached_increment_by_key(), memcached_decrement_by_key(),
103 memcached_increment_with_initial_by_key(), and
104 memcached_decrement_with_initial_by_key() are master key equivalents of the
105 above.
106 .SH RETURN
107 .sp
108 A value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP is returned.
109 On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
110 Use memcached_strerror() to translate this value to a printable string.
