NAME

libmemcachedutil - libmemcached Documentation

Utility library for libmemcached

SYNOPSIS

#include <libmemcachedutil-1.0/util.h>
Compile and link with -lmemcachedutil -lmemcached

DESCRIPTION

libmemcachedutil is a small and thread-safe client library that provides extra functionality built on top of libmemcached.

THREADS AND PROCESSES

Do not try to access an instance of memcached_st from multiple threads at the same time. If you want to access memcached from multiple threads you should either clone the memcached_st, or use the memcached pool implementation. See memcached_pool().

Working with memcached pools

SYNOPSIS

#include <libmemcachedutil-1.0/pool.h>
Compile and link with -lmemcachedutil -lmemcached


  • option_string -- configuration string
  • option_string_length -- length of options_string without any trailing zero byte

allocated and initialized memcached_pool_st instance on success or nullptr on failure


pool -- initialized memcached_pool_st instance to free
pointer to the 'master' memcached_st instance by legacy


New in version 0.53: Synonym for memcached_pool_pop

  • pool -- initialized memcached_pool_st instance
  • relative_time -- time to block thread and wait for a connection to become available when pool size is exceeded, unless nullptr
  • rc -- out pointer to memcached_return_t

pointer to an available memcached_st instance


New in version 0.53: Synonym for memcached_pool_push.

  • pool -- initialized memcached_pool_st instance
  • mmc -- the memcached_st instance to return to the pool

memcached_return_t indicating success


  • pool -- initialized memcached_pool_st instance
  • flag -- the behavior to change
  • value -- the value to set for flag

memcached_return_t indicating success


  • pool -- initialized memcached_pool_st instance
  • flag -- the behavior to read
  • value -- out pointer to receive the set value of flag

memcached_return_t indicating success


Deprecated since version 0.46: Use memcached_pool()



Deprecated since version 0.53: Use memcached_pool_release()


DESCRIPTION

memcached_pool() is used to create a connection pool of objects you may use to remove the overhead of using memcached_clone for short lived memcached_st objects. Please see libmemcached Configuration for details on the format of the configuration string.

memcached_pool_destroy() is used to destroy the connection pool created with memcached_pool_create() and release all allocated resources. It will return the pointer to the memcached_st structure passed as an argument to memcached_pool_create(), and returns the ownership of the pointer to the caller when created with memcached_pool_create(), otherwise NULL is returned..

memcached_pool_fetch() is used to fetch a connection structure from the connection pool. The relative_time argument specifies if the function should block and wait for a connection structure to be available if we try to exceed the maximum size. You need to specify time in relative time.

memcached_pool_release() is used to return a connection structure back to the pool.

memcached_pool_behavior_get() and memcached_pool_behavior_set() is used to get/set behavior flags on all connections in the pool.

Both memcached_pool_release() and memcached_pool_fetch() are thread safe.

RETURN VALUE

memcached_pool_destroy() returns the pointer (and ownership) to the memcached_st structure used to create the pool. If connections are in use it returns NULL.

memcached_pool_pop() returns a pointer to a memcached_st structure from the pool (or NULL if an allocation cannot be satisfied).

memcached_pool_release() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.

memcached_pool_behavior_get() and memcached_pool_behavior_get() return MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon success.

memcached_pool_fetch() may return MEMCACHED_TIMEOUT if a timeout occurs while waiting for a free memcached_st instance, MEMCACHED_NOTFOUND if no memcached_st instance was available, respectively.

NOTE:

If any method returns MEMCACHED_IN_PROGRESS then a lock on the pool could not be obtained.

If any of the parameters passed to any of these functions is invalid, MEMCACHED_INVALID_ARGUMENTS will be returned.
