+
+Examples for libmemcached
+
+-----------
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+
+For full examples, test cases are found in tests/\*.c in the main
+distribution. These are always up to date, and are used for each test run of
+the library.
+
+
+---------------------
+Connecting to servers
+---------------------
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+  const char *config_string= "--SERVER=host10.example.com --SERVER=host11.example.com --SERVER=host10.example.com"
+  memcached_st *memc= memcached(config_string, strlen(config_string);
+  {
+  ...
+  }
+   memcached_free(memc);
+
+
+In the above code you create a :c:type:`memcached_st` object with three server 
+by making use of :c:func:`memcached_create`.
+
+
+--------------------------
+Creating a pool of servers
+--------------------------
+
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+Creating a pool of Servers::
+
+  const char *config_string= "--SERVER=host10.example.com --SERVER=host11.example.com --SERVER=host10.example.com"; 
+  
+  memcached_pool_st* pool= memcached_pool(config_string, strlen(config_string));
+
+  memcached_return_t rc;
+
+  memcached_st *memc= memcached_pool_pop(pool, false, &rc);
+
+  .... do work
+
+  /*
+    Release the memc_ptr that was pulled from the pool
+  */
+  memcached_pool_push(pool, memc);
+
+  /*
+    Destroy the pool.
+  */
+  memcached_pool_destroy(pool);
+
+
+
+In the above code you create a :c:type:`memcached_pool_st` object with three
+server by making use of :c:func:`memcached_pool()`.
+
+When :c:func:`memcached_pool_destroy()` all memory will be released that is associated
+with the pool.
+
+
+----------------------------
+Adding a value to the server
+----------------------------
+
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+Adding a value to the Server::
+
+   char *key= "foo";
+   char *value= "value";
+
+   memcached_return_t rc= memcached_set(memc, key, strlen(key), value, value_length, (time_t)0, (uint32_t)0);
+
+   if (rc != MEMCACHED_SUCCESS)
+   {
+   ... // handle failure
+   }
+
+
+It is best practice to always look at the return value of any operation.
+
+
+------------------------
+Fetching multiple values
+------------------------
+
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   memcached_return_t rc;
+   char *keys[]= {"fudge", "son", "food"};
+   size_t key_length[]= {5, 3, 4};
+   unsigned int x;
+   uint32_t flags;
+
+   char return_key[MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY];
+   size_t return_key_length;
+   char *return_value;
+   size_t return_value_length;
+
+   rc= memcached_mget(memc, keys, key_length, 3);
+
+   x= 0;
+   while ((return_value= memcached_fetch(memc, return_key, &return_key_length, 
+                                         &return_value_length, &flags, &rc)))
+   {
+     free(return_value);
+     x++;
+   }
+
+
+Notice that you freed values returned from memcached_fetch(). The define
+:c:type:`MEMCACHED_MAX_KEY` is provided for usage.
