+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+
+libmemcached(3) allows you to specify your own memory allocators, optimized
+for your application. This enables libmemcached to be used inside of applications that have their own malloc implementation.
+
+:c:func:`memcached_set_memory_allocators` is used to set the memory 
+allocators used by the memcached instance specified by ptr. Please note that 
+you cannot override only one of the memory allocators, you have to specify a 
+complete new set if you want to override one of them. All of the memory 
+allocation functions should behave as specified in the C99 standard. Specify 
+NULL as all functions to reset them to the default values.
+
+:c:func:`memcached_get_memory_allocators` is used to get the currently used 
+memory allocators by a mamcached handle.
+
+:c:func:`memcached_get_memory_allocators_context` returns the void \* that 
+was passed in during the call to :c:func:`memcached_set_memory_allocators`.
+
+The first argument to the memory allocator functions is a pointer to a
+memcached structure, the is passed as const and you will need to clone
+it in order to make use of any operation which would modify it.
+
+
+-----
+NOTES
+-----
+
+
+In version 0.38 all functions were modified to have a context void pointer
+passed to them. This was so that customer allocators could have their
+own space for memory.
+
+
+------
+RETURN
+------
+
+
+:c:func:`memcached_set_memory_allocators` return :c:type:`MEMCACHED_SUCCESS` 
+upon success, and :c:type:`MEMCACHED_FAILURE` if you don't pass a complete set 
+of function pointers.
