76
\fI\%memcached_get()\fP is used to fetch an individual value from the server.
77
You must pass in a key and its length to fetch the object. You must supply
78
three pointer variables which will give you the state of the returned
79
object. A \fBuint32_t\fP pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a \fBsize_t\fP pointer which will be filled with size of of
80
the object, and a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP pointer to hold any error. The
81
object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. Any
82
object returned by \fI\%memcached_get()\fP must be released by the caller
85
\fI\%memcached_mget()\fP is used to select multiple keys at once. For
86
multiple key operations it is always faster to use this function. This function always works asynchronously.
88
To retrieve data after a successful execution of \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP, you will need to
89
call \fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP. You should continue to call this function until
90
it returns a NULL (i.e. no more values). If you need to quit in the middle of a
91
\fI\%memcached_mget()\fP call, you can execute a \fBmemcached_quit()\fP, those this is not required.
93
\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP is used to fetch an individual value from the server. \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP must always be called before using this method.
94
You must pass in a key and its length to fetch the object. You must supply
95
three pointer variables which will give you the state of the returned
96
object. A \fBuint32_t\fP pointer to contain whatever flags you stored with the value, a \fBsize_t\fP pointer which will be filled with size of of the
97
object, and a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP pointer to hold any error. The
98
object will be returned upon success and NULL will be returned on failure. \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP is returned by the *error value when all objects that have been found are returned. The final value upon \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP is null.
100
\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP is used to return a \fBmemcached_result_st\fP structure from a memcached server. The result object is forward compatible
101
with changes to the server. For more information please refer to the
102
\fBmemcached_result_st\fP help. This function will dynamically allocate a
103
result structure for you if you do not pass one to the function.
105
\fI\%memcached_fetch_execute()\fP is a callback function for result sets.
106
Instead of returning the results to you for processing, it passes each of the
107
result sets to the list of functions you provide. It passes to the function
108
a \fBmemcached_st\fP that can be cloned for use in the called
109
function (it can not be used directly). It also passes a result set which does
110
not need to be freed. Finally it passes a "context". This is just a pointer to
111
a memory reference you supply the calling function. Currently only one value
112
is being passed to each function call. In the future there will be an option
113
to allow this to be an array.
115
\fI\%memcached_mget_execute()\fP and \fI\%memcached_mget_execute_by_key()\fP
116
is similar to \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP, but it may trigger the supplied
117
callbacks with result sets while sending out the queries. If you try to
118
perform a really large multiget with \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP you may
119
encounter a deadlock in the OS kernel (it will fail to write data to the
120
socket because the input buffer is full). \fI\%memcached_mget_execute()\fP
121
solves this problem by processing some of the results before continuing
122
sending out requests. Please note that this function is only available in
125
\fI\%memcached_get_by_key()\fP and \fI\%memcached_mget_by_key()\fP behave
126
in a similar nature as \fI\%memcached_get()\fP and \fI\%memcached_mget()\fP.
127
The difference is that they take a master key that is used for determining
128
which server an object was stored if key partitioning was used for storage.
130
All of the above functions are not tested when the
131
\fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fP has been set. Executing any of these
132
functions with this behavior on will result in \fBMEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP being returned, or for those functions which do not return a \fBmemcached_return_t\fP, the error function parameter will be set to \fBMEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP.
135
All objects retrieved via \fI\%memcached_get()\fP or \fI\%memcached_get_by_key()\fP must be freed with \fIfree(3)\fP.
137
\fI\%memcached_get()\fP will return NULL on
138
error. You must look at the value of error to determine what the actual error
141
\fI\%memcached_fetch_execute()\fP return \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP if
142
all keys were successful. \fBMEMCACHED_NOTFOUND\fP will be return if no
143
keys at all were found.
145
\fI\%memcached_fetch_result()\fP sets error
146
to \fBMEMCACHED_END\fP upon successful conclusion.
147
\fBMEMCACHED_NOTFOUND\fP will be return if no keys at all were found.
