memcached简介

 Memcached是高性能的，分布式的内存对象缓存系统，用于在动态应用中减少数据库负载，提升访问速度。它是一个开源的项目，分服务端和客户端API两部分组成。
    我们可以在（www.danga.com/memcached/download.bml）下载到服务端程序。memcached服务需要依靠libevent事件驱动程序，libevent可以在（www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/）下载到。服务端没有多少人为干预的东西，安装好后，就可以启动服务使用，一般启动命令为：
./memcached -d -m 2048 -l 10.0.0.40 -p 11211  
具体启动参数：
-p <num>      TCP port number to listen on (default: 11211)
-U <num>      UDP port number to listen on (default: 0, off)
-s <file>     unix socket path to listen on (disables network support)
-l <ip_addr> interface to listen on, default is INDRR_ANY
-d            run as a daemon
-r            maximize core file limit
-u <username> assume identity of <username> (only when run as root)
-m <num>      max memory to use for items in megabytes, default is 64 MB
-M            return error on memory exhausted (rather than removing items)
-c <num>      max simultaneous connections, default is 1024
-k            lock down all paged memory
-v            verbose (print errors/warnings while in event loop)
-vv           very verbose (also print client commands/reponses)
-h            print this help and exit
-i            print memcached and libevent license
-b            run a managed instanced (mnemonic: buckets)
-P <file>     save PID in <file>, only used with -d option
-f <factor>   chunk size growth factor, default 1.25
-n <bytes>    minimum space allocated for key+value+flags, default 48
Memcached客户端API支持功能非常强大，可以支持PHP、Python、JAVA、C#、C等。其代码API可以在（www.danga.com/memcached/apis.bml）下载到。对于C的API目前有3分代码，libmemcache、libmemcached、arp_memcache.一开始简单使用可以采用libmemcache，apr_memcache的库较为庞大，要另外下载apr的通用代码库。
