NAME¶

memcached_delete - Delete a key

LIBRARY¶

C Client Library for memcached (libmemcached, -lmemcached)

SYNOPSIS¶

  #include <memcached.h>
  memcached_return
    memcached_delete (memcached_st *ptr,
                      const char *key, size_t key_length,
                      time_t expiration);
  memcached_return
  memcached_delete_by_key (memcached_st *ptr,
                           const char *master_key, size_t master_key_length,
                           const char *key, size_t key_length,
                           time_t expiration);

DESCRIPTION¶

memcached_delete() is used to delete a particular key. An expiration value can be applied so that the key is deleted after that many seconds. memcached_delete_by_key() works the same, but it takes a master key to find the given value.

RETURN¶

A value of type "memcached_return" is returned On success that value will be "MEMCACHED_SUCCESS". Use memcached_strerror() to translate this value to a printable string.

If you are using the non-blocking mode of the library, success only means that the message was queued for delivery.
