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
memcached_cas() overwrites data in the server as long as the "cas" value is
115
still the same in the server. You can get the cas value of a result by
116
calling memcached_result_cas() on a memcached_result_st(3) structure. At the point
117
that this note was written cas is still buggy in memached. Turning on tests
118
for it in libmemcached(3) is optional. Please see memcached_set() for
119
information on how to do this.
121
memcached_set_by_key(), memcached_add_by_key(), memcached_replace_by_key(),
122
memcached_prepend_by_key(), memcached_append_by_key_by_key(),
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 master_key parameter to map
125
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.
130
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
131
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
133
and the current server implementation sets a datagram size to 1400 bytes. Due
134
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
136
executed. When running with the binary protocol, \(ga\(ga MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_BINARY_PROTOCOL\(ga\(ga,
137
the size of the key,value, flags and expiry combined may not exceed 1368 bytes.
138
When running with the ASCII protocol, the exact limit fluctuates depending on
139
which function is being executed and whether the function is a cas operation
140
or not. For non\-cas ASCII set operations, there are at least 1335 bytes available
141
to split among the key, key_prefix, and value; for cas ASCII operations there are
142
at least 1318 bytes available to split among the key, key_prefix and value. If the
143
total size of the command, including overhead, exceeds 1400 bytes, a \fBMEMCACHED_WRITE_FAILURE\fPwill be returned.
146
All methods return a value of type \fBmemcached_return_t\fP.
147
On success the value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP.
148
Use memcached_strerror() to translate this value to a printable string.
150
For memcached_replace() and memcached_add(), \fBMEMCACHED_NOTSTORED\fP is a
151
legitmate error in the case of a collision.
