memcache的API

php版本的API：http://www.php.net/manual/zh/memcache.add.php

Storage Commands

set表示存储该数据；
add表示如果服务器没有保存该关键字的情况下，存储该数据；
replace表示在服务器已经拥有该关键字的情况下，替换原有内容。



set
Most common command. Store this data, possibly overwriting any existing data. New items are at the top of the LRU.



add
Store
this data, only if it does not already exist. New items are at the top
of the LRU. If an item already exists and an add fails, it promotes the
item to the front of the LRU anyway.



replace
Store
this data, but only if the data already exists. Almost never used, and
exists for protocol completeness (set, add, replace, etc)



append
Add
this data after the last byte in an existing item. This does not allow
you to extend past the item limit. Useful for managing lists.



prepend
Same as append, but adding new data before existing data.



cas
Check
And Set (or Compare And Swap). An operation that stores data, but only
if no one else has updated the data since you read it last. Useful for
resolving race conditions on updating cache data.



Retrieval Commands


get
Command for retrieving data. Takes one or more keys and returns all found items.



gets
An
alternative get command for using with CAS. Returns a CAS identifier (a
unique 64bit number) with the item. Return this value with the cas
command. If the item's CAS value has changed since you gets
'ed it, it will not be stored.



delete
Removes an item from the cache, if it exists.



incr/decr
Increment
and Decrement. If an item stored is the string representation of a
64bit integer, you may run incr or decr commands to modify that number.
You may only incr by positive values, or decr by positive values. They
does not accept negative values.

If a value does not already exist, incr/decr will fail.



Statistics
There're
a handful of commands that return counters and settings of the
memcached server. These can be inspected via a large array of tools or
simply by telnet or netcat. These are further explained in the protocol
docs.



stats
ye 'ole basic stats command.



stats items
Returns some information, broken down by slab, about items stored in memcached.



stats slabs
Returns
more information, broken down by slab, about items stored in memcached.
More centered to performance of a slab rather than counts of particular
items.



stats sizes
A special
command that shows you how items would be distributed if slabs were
broken into 32byte buckets instead of your current number of slabs.
Useful for determining how efficient your slab sizing is.

WARNING
this is a development command. As of 1.4 it is still the only command
which will lock your memcached instance for some time. If you have many
millions of stored items, it can become unresponsive for several
minutes. Run this at your own risk. It is roadmapped to either make this
feature optional or at least speed it up.



flush_all
Invalidate
all existing cache items. Optionally takes a parameter, which means to
invalidate all items after N seconds have passed.

This command
does not pause the server, as it returns immediately. It does not free
up or flush memory at all, it just causes all items to expire.
