Get memcached statistics
SYNOPSIS
#include <libmemcached/memcached.h>
Compile and link with -lmemcached
typedef struct memcached_stat_st memcached_stat_st
typedef memcached_return_t (*memcached_stat_fn)(const memcached_instance_st *server, const char *key,
size_t key_length, const char *value, size_t value_length, void *context)
Param server
pointer to the memcached_instance_st being stat'ed
Param key
the current key
Param key_length
the length of the key without any terminating zero
Param value
the value read
Param value_length
the length of the value without any terminating zero
Param context
pointer to the user supplied context
Returns
memcached_return_t indicating success
memcached_stat_st *memcached_stat(memcached_st *ptr, char *args, memcached_return_t *error)
Parameters
• ptr -- pointer to an initialized memcached_st struct
• args -- particular state object to query
• error -- pointer to memcached_return_t indicating success
Returns
array of memcached_stat_st objects for all available servers
memcached_return_t memcached_stat_servername(memcached_stat_st *stat, char *args, const char *hostname,
in_port_t port)
Parameters
• stat -- pointer to a memcached_stat_st struct to fill
• args -- particular state object to query
• hostname -- the hostname or IP address of the server to stat
• port -- the port of the server to stat
Returns
memcached_return_t indicating success
char *memcached_stat_get_value(memcached_st *ptr, memcached_stat_st *stat, const char *key,
memcached_return_t *error)
Parameters

• context -- pointer to user supplied context
Returns
memcached_return_t indication success
DESCRIPTION
libmemcached has the ability to query a memcached(1) server (or collection of servers) for their current
state. Queries to find state return a memcached_stat_st structure. You are responsible for freeing this
structure. While it is possible to access the structure directly it is not advisable.
memcached_stat_get_value() has been provided to query the structure.
memcached_stat_execute() uses the servers found in memcached_stat_st and executes a "stat" command on
each server. args is an optional argument that can be passed in to modify the behavior of "stats". You
will need to supply a callback function that will be supplied each pair of values returned by the
memcached server.
memcached_stat() fetches an array of memcached_stat_st structures containing the state of all available
memcached servers. The return value must be freed by the calling application. If called with the
MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_USE_UDP behavior set, a NULL value is returned and the error parameter is set to
MEMCACHED_NOT_SUPPORTED.
memcached_stat_servername() can be used standalone without a memcached_st to obtain the state of a
particular server. "args" is used to define a particular state object (a list of these are not provided
for by either the memcached_stat_get_keys() call nor are they defined in the memcached protocol). You
must specify the hostname and port of the server you want to obtain information on.
memcached_stat_get_value() returns the value of a particular state key. You specify the key you wish to
obtain. The key must be null terminated.
memcached_stat_get_keys() returns a list of keys that the server has state objects on. You are
responsible for freeing this list.
A command line tool, memstat, is provided so that you do not have to write an application to do this.
RETURN VALUE
Varies, see particular functions.
Any method returning a memcached_stat_st expects you to free the memory allocated for it.
