261 be used by other <code class="xref cpp cpp-any docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">libmemcached</span></code> functions to communicate with the server. You
262 should either pass a statically declared <a class="reference internal" href="#_CPPv412memcached_st" title="memcached_st"><code class="xref cpp cpp-any docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">memcached_st</span></code></a> to <a class="reference internal" href="#_CPPv416memcached_createP12memcached_st" title="memcached_create"><code class="xref cpp cpp-any docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">memcached_create()</span></code></a> or

264 <p>Please note, when you write new application use <a class="reference internal" href="configuration.html#_CPPv49memcachedPKc6size_t" title="memcached"><code class="xref cpp cpp-any docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">memcached()</span></code></a> over
