memcached \- high-performance memory object caching system
9
This manual page documents briefly the
11
memory object caching daemon.
14
is a flexible memory object caching daemon designed to alleviate database load
15
in dynamic web applications by storing objects in memory. It's based on
16
libevent to scale to any size needed, and is specifically optimized to avoid
17
swapping and always use non-blocking I/O.
20
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax. A summary of options
24
Listen on <ip_addr>; default to INDRR_ANY. This is an important option to
25
consider as there is no other way to secure the installation. Binding to an
26
internal or firewalled network interface is suggested.
29
Run memcached as a daemon.
32
Assume the identity of <username> (only when run as root).
35
Use <num> MB memory max to use for object storage; the default is 64 megabytes.
38
Use <num> max simultaneous connections; the default is 1024.
41
Lock down all paged memory. This is a somewhat dangerous option with large
42
caches, so consult the README and memcached homepage for configuration
46
Listen on port <num>, the default is port 11211.
49
Show the version of memcached and a summary of options.
52
Be verbose during the event loop; print out errors and warnings.
55
Be even more verbose; same as \-v but also print client commands and
59
Print memcached and libevent licenses.
