You should either pass a statically declared \fI\%memcached_st\fP to \fI\%memcached_create()\fP or a NULL. If a NULL passed in then a structure is allocated for you. .sp Please note, when you write new application use \fBmemcached()\fP over \fI\%memcached_create()\fP\&. .sp \fI\%memcached_clone()\fP is similar to \fI\%memcached_create()\fP but it copies the defaults and list of servers from the source \fI\%memcached_st\fP\&. If you pass a null as the argument for the source to clone, it is the same as a call to \fI\%memcached_create()\fP\&. If the destination argument is NULL a \fI\%memcached_st\fP will be allocated for you. .sp \fI\%memcached_servers_reset()\fP allows you to zero out the list of servers that the \fI\%memcached_st\fP has. .sp To clean up memory associated with a \fI\%memcached_st\fP structure you should pass it to \fI\%memcached_free()\fP when you are finished using it. \fI\%memcached_free()\fP is the only way to make sure all memory is deallocated when you finish using the structure. .sp You may wish to avoid using memcached_create(3) or memcached_clone(3) with a stack based allocation. The most common issues related to ABI safety involve heap allocated structures. .SH RETURN .sp \fI\%memcached_create()\fP returns a pointer to the \fI\%memcached_st\fP that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. .sp \fI\%memcached_clone()\fP returns a pointer to the \fI\%memcached_st\fP that was created (or initialized). On an allocation failure, it returns NULL. .SH HOME .sp To find out more information please check: \fI\%http://libmemcached.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. .
