•   error -- pointer to memcached_return_t indicating success

Returns
    the data previously set

typedef enum memcached_callback_t memcached_callback_t

enum memcached_callback_t

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_CLEANUP_FUNCTION
    When memcached_free() or memcached_reset is called this function will be executed. At the point of its execution all connections are closed.

    Its signature is:

typedef  link #_CPPv418memcached_return_t'memcached_return_t link' (*memcached_cleanup_fn)(const  link #_CPPv412memcached_st'memcached_st link' *ptr)

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_CLONE_FUNCTION
    When memcached_clone() is called this function will be executed.

    Its signature is:

typedef  link #_CPPv418memcached_return_t'memcached_return_t link' (*memcached_clone_fn)( link #_CPPv412memcached_st'memcached_st link' *destination, const  link #_CPPv412memcached_st'memcached_st link' *source)

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_PREFIX_KEY
    See MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_NAMESPACE.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_NAMESPACE
    You can set a value which will be used to create a domain for your keys. The value specified here will be prefixed to each of your keys. The value can not be greater then MEMCACHED_MAX_NAMESPACE - 1 and will reduce MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY by the value of your key.

    The prefix key is only applied to the primary key, not the master key. MEMCACHED_FAILURE will be returned if no key is set. In the case of a key which is too long, MEMCACHED_BAD_KEY_PROVIDED will be returned.

    If you set a value with the value being NULL then the prefix key is disabled.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_USER_DATA
    This allows you to store a pointer to a specific piece of data. This can be retrieved from inside of memcached_fetch_execute(). Cloning a memcached_st will copy the pointer to the clone.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_MALLOC_FUNCTION
    Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_REALLOC_FUNCTION
    Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_FREE_FUNCTION
    Deprecated since version <0.32: Use memcached_set_memory_allocators() instead.

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_GET_FAILURE
    This function implements the read through cache behavior. On failure of retrieval this callback will be called.

    You are responsible for populating the result object provided. This result object will then be stored in the server and returned to the calling process.

    You must clone the memcached_st in order to make use of it. The value will be stored only if you return MEMCACHED_SUCCESS or MEMCACHED_BUFFERED. Returning MEMCACHED_BUFFERED will cause the object to be buffered and not sent immediately (if this is the default behavior based on your connection setup this will happen automatically).

    The prototype for this is:

typedef  link #_CPPv418memcached_return_t'memcached_return_t link' (*memcached_trigger_key)( link #_CPPv412memcached_st'memcached_st link' *ptr, char *key, size_t key_length,  link #_CPPv419memcached_result_st'memcached_result_st link' *result)

enumerator MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_DELETE_TRIGGER
    This function implements a trigger upon successful deletion of a key. The memcached_st structure will need to be cloned in order to make use of it.

    The prototype for this is:

typedef  link #_CPPv418memcached_return_t'memcached_return_t link' (*memcached_trigger_delete_key)( link #_CPPv412memcached_st'memcached_st link' *ptr, char *key, size_t key_length)

DESCRIPTION

libmemcached can have callbacks set key execution points. These either provide function calls at points in the code, or return pointers to structures for particular usages.

memcached_callback_get() takes a callback flag and returns the structure or function set by memcached_callback_set().

memcached_callback_set() changes the function/structure assigned by a callback flag. No connections are reset.

You can use MEMCACHED_CALLBACK_USER_DATA to provide custom context if required for any of the callbacks.

RETURN VALUE

memcached_callback_get() returns the function or structure that was provided. Upon error, nothing is set, NULL is returned, and the memcached_return_t argument is set to MEMCACHED_FAILURE.

memcached_callback_set() returns MEMCACHED_SUCCESS upon successful setting, otherwise MEMCACHED_FAILURE on error.
