# memcached\_flush\_buffers(3)

libmemcached Documentation

## NAME

memcached\_flush\_buffers - libmemcached Documentation

## SYNOPSIS

- **#include \<libmemcached/memcached.h\>**

  Compile and link with -lmemcached

- **memcached\_return\_t \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> memcached\_flush\_buffers(memcached\_st \<#\_CPPv412memcached\_st\> \*ptr)**

  - **Parameters**

    **ptr** -- pointer to initialized **memcached\_st** \<#\_CPPv412memcached\_st\> struct

  - **Returns**

    **memcached\_return\_t** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> indicating success

## DESCRIPTION

**memcached\_flush\_buffers()** is used in conjunction with **MEMCACHED\_BEHAVIOR\_BUFFER\_REQUESTS** \<#\_CPPv4N20memcached\_behavior\_t34MEMCACHED\_BEHAVIOR\_BUFFER\_REQUESTSE\> to flush all buffers by sending the buffered commands to the server for processing.

## RETURN VALUE

A value of type **memcached\_return\_t** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_return\_t\> is returned. On success that value will be **MEMCACHED\_SUCCESS** \<#\_CPPv4N18memcached\_return\_t17MEMCACHED\_SUCCESSE\>. Use **memcached\_strerror()** \<#\_CPPv418memcached\_strerrorP12memcached\_st18memcached\_return\_t\> to translate this value to a printable string.
