libmemcached is a C and C++ client library to the memcached server (http://danga.com/memcached). It has been designed to be light on memory usage, thread safe, and provide full access to server side methods. A few notes on its design: # Synchronous and Asynchronous support. # TCP and Unix Socket protocols. # A half dozen or so different hash algorithms. # Implementations of the new cas, replace, and append operators. # Man pages written up on entire API. # Implements both modulo and consistent hashing solutions. It also implements several command line tools: memcat - Copy the value of a key to standard output memflush - Flush the contents of your servers. memrm - Remove a key(s) from the serrver. memcp - Copy files to a memached server. memstat - Dump the stats of your servers to standard output memslap - Generate testing loads on a memcached cluster
