NAME
       memcached_lib_version - libmemcached Documentation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
              Compile and link with -lmemcached

       const char *memcached_lib_version(void)

              Returns
                     version string of libmemcached

       memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t>
       memcached_version(memcached_st <#_CPPv412memcached_st> *ptr)

              Parameters
                     ptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st <#
                     _CPPv412memcached_st> struct

              Returns
                     memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t>
                     indicating success

DESCRIPTION
       memcached_lib_version() is used to return a simple version string
       representing the libmemcached version (client library, not server).

       memcached_version() is used to set the major, minor, and micro versions
       of each memcached server being used by the memcached_st <#
       _CPPv412memcached_st> connection structure.  It returns the memcached
       server return code.

RETURN VALUE
       memcached_lib_version() returns a string with the version of the
       libmemcached driver.

       A value of memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> is returned
       from :func:'memcached_version'

       On success that value will be MEMCACHED_SUCCESS <#
       _CPPv4N18memcached_return_t17MEMCACHED_SUCCESSE>.

       If called with the MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP <#
       _CPPv4N20memcached_behavior_t26MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDPE> behavior
       set, the value MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED <#
       _CPPv4N18memcached_return_t23MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTEDE> will be
       returned.

       Use memcached_strerror() <#
       _CPPv418memcached_strerrorP12memcached_st18memcached_return_t> to
       translate this value to a printable string.
