The "add" and "replace" commands with this key will also fail (the "set" command will succeed, however). After the time passes, the item is finally deleted from server memory. .sp Please note the the Danga memcached server removed tests for expiration in the 1.4 version. .SH RETURN .sp A value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP is returned On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP\&. Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP to translate this value to a printable string. .sp If you are using the non\-blocking mode of the library, success only means that the message was queued for delivery. .SH HOME .sp To find out more information please check: \fI\%http://libmemcached.org/\fP .SH AUTHOR .sp Brian Aker, <\fI\%brian@tangent.org\fP> .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fImemcached(1)\fP \fIlibmemcached(3)\fP \fImemcached_strerror(3)\fP .SH AUTHOR Brian Aker .SH COPYRIGHT 2011-2013, Brian Aker DataDifferential, http://datadifferential.com/ .\" Generated by docutils manpage writer. .
