memcached_set(), memcached_add(), and memcached_replace() are all used to
91
store information on the server. All methods take a key, and its length to
92
store the object. Keys are currently limited to 250 characters by the
93
memcached(1) server. You must also supply a value and a length. Optionally you
94
may tests an expiration time for the object and a 16 byte value (it is
95
meant to be used as a bitmap).
97
memcached_set() will write an object to the server. If an object already
98
exists it will overwrite what is in the server. If the object does not exist
99
it will be written. If you are using the non\-blocking mode this function
100
will always return true unless a network error occurs.
102
memcached_replace() replaces an object on the server. If the object is not
103
found on the server an error occurs.
105
memcached_add() adds an object to the server. If the object is found on the
106
server an error occurs, otherwise the value is stored.
108
memcached_prepend() places a segment of data before the last piece of data
109
stored. Currently expiration and key are not used in the server.
111
memcached_append() places a segment of data at the end of the last piece of
112
data stored. Currently expiration and key are not used in the server.
114
48
memcached_cas() overwrites data in the server as long as the "cas" value is
115
49
still the same in the server. You can get the cas value of a result by
116
50
calling memcached_result_cas() on a memcached_result_st(3) structure. At the point
118
52
for it in libmemcached(3) is optional. Please see memcached_set() for
119
53
information on how to do this.

123
memcached_cas_by_key() methods all behave in a similar method as the non key
124
methods. The difference is that they use their group_key parameter to map
55
memcached_cas_by_key() method behaves in a similar method as the non key
56
methods. The difference is that it uses the group_key parameter to map
125
57
objects to particular servers.
127
If you are looking for performance, memcached_set() with non\-blocking IO is
128
the fastest way to store data on the server.

All of the above functions are testsed with the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fPbehavior enabled. But when using these operations with this behavior on, there
59
memcached_cas() is testsed with the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fPbehavior enabled. However, when using these operations with this behavior on, there
131
60
are limits to the size of the payload being sent to the server. The reason for
132
these limits is that the Memcahed Server does not allow multi\-datagram requests
61
these limits is that the Memcached Server does not allow multi\-datagram requests
133
62
and the current server implementation sets a datagram size to 1400 bytes. Due
134
63
to protocol overhead, the actual limit of the user supplied data is less than
135
1400 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as well as the operation being
64
1400 bytes and depends on the protocol in use as, well as the operation being
136
65
executed. When running with the binary protocol, \(ga\(ga MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL\(ga\(ga,
137
66
the size of the key,value, flags and expiry combined may not exceed 1368 bytes.

When running with the ASCII protocol, the exact limit fluctuates depending on
