## DESCRIPTION

*gearman\_client\_options()* returns the *gearman\_client\_options\_t* for *gearman\_client\_st*. You enable options via *gearman\_client\_add\_options()* and disable options via *gearman\_client\_remove\_options()*.

*gearman\_client\_set\_options()* has been DEPRECATED.

The currently supported options are:

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_NON\_BLOCKING**

  Run the cient in a non-blocking mode.

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_STOP\_WAIT\_ON\_SIGNAL**

  Return *GEARMAN\_IO\_WAIT* from **gearman\_wait()** when a signal interrupts the wait.

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_FREE\_TASKS**

  Automatically free task objects once they are complete.

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_UNBUFFERED\_RESULT**

  Allow the client to read data in chunks rather than have the library buffer the entire data result and pass that back.

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_GENERATE\_UNIQUE**

  Generate a unique id for each task created by generating a UUID.

- **type GEARMAN\_CLIENT\_SERVER\_SELECTION\_BY\_UNIQUE**

  Choose the server a job is submitted to by hashing its unique, instead of using the first idle server. Equivalent to *gearman\_client\_set\_server\_selection\_by\_unique()*, which describes the behavior in detail.
