.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBmemcached_lib_version()\fP is used to return a simple version string
representing the \fBlibmemcached\fP version (client library, not server).
.sp
\fBmemcached_version()\fP is used to set the major, minor, and micro versions of
each memcached server being used by the \fBmemcached_st\fP \%<#\:_CPPv412memcached_st> connection structure.
It returns the memcached server return code.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.sp
\fBmemcached_lib_version()\fP returns a string with the version of the libmemcached driver.
.sp
A value of \fBmemcached_return_t\fP \%<#\:_CPPv418memcached_return_t> is returned from :func:\(aqmemcached_version\(aq
.sp
On success that value will be \fBMEMCACHED_SUCCESS\fP \%<#\:_CPPv4N18memcached_return_t17MEMCACHED_SUCCESSE>\&.
.sp
If called with the \fBMEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP\fP \%<#\:_CPPv4N20memcached_behavior_t26MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDPE> behavior set, the value
\fBMEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED\fP \%<#\:_CPPv4N18memcached_return_t23MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTEDE> will be returned.
.sp
Use \fBmemcached_strerror()\fP \%<#\:_CPPv418memcached_strerrorP12memcached_st18memcached_return_t> to translate this value to
a printable string.
