Analyzing servers

SYNOPSIS

#include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
Compile and link with -lmemcached
typedef struct memcached_analysis_st memcached_analysis_st
memcached_analysis_st *memcached_analyze(memcached_st *ptr, memcached_stat_st *stat, memcached_return_t *error)
Parameters:
Returns:

pointer to an allocated and filled out memcached_analysis_t struct

DESCRIPTION

libmemcached has the ability to query a memcached server (or collection of servers) for their current state. Queries to find state return a memcached_analysis_st structure. You are responsible for freeing this structure.

memcached_analyze() analyzes useful information based on the provided servers and sets the result to the memcached_analysis_st structure. The return value must be freed by the calling application.

See also

memstat -a|--analyze [<arg>] A command line tool to analyze a memcached server.

RETURN VALUE

A pointer to the allocated memcached_analysis_st structure on success and a NULL pointer on failure. You may inspect the error detail by checking the memcached_return_t value.

Any method returning a memcached_analysis_st expects you to free the memory allocated for it.
