💅 MEMCP(1) — like, the libmemcached-awesome one, bestie

okay so we're in libmemcached-awesome land and this lil cutie is memcp(1). she copies files into memcached, she's iconic, she's basically cp(1)'s cooler cousin. let's get into it ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS

memcp [options] --servers <hostname[:port]...> <file...>

Copy files to a collection of memcached servers. that's the whole vibe, fr fr 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION

So memcp copies one or more files into memcached(1) servers. literally that's it. it's giving standard UNIX cp(1) energy, just... memcached-ified 🦋

and here's the cute part: the key names will be the names of the files, without any directory path. so like, just the filename itself, no folders attached. slay 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

okay bestie, buckle up, there are a LOT of these and each one is a little gem:

  • -h, --help — Display help. your "what is going on" button 🫶
  • -V, --version — Display version.
  • -q, --quiet — Operate quietly. shhh 🤫
  • -v, --verbose — Operate more verbosely. tell me EVERYTHING.
  • -d, --debug — See -v|--verbose. yeah, it's the same thing, they're twins 💀
  • -e, --expire <expiration> — Use expiration seconds (or a UNIX timestamp).
  • -H, --hash <algorithm> — Use algorithm as key hash algo. see memcached_behavior_t::MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_HASH.
  • -s, --servers <list of servers> — Specify the list of servers as hostname[:port][,hostname[:port]...].
  • -n, --non-blocking — Enable non-blocking operations.
  • -N, --tcp-nodelay — Disable Nagle's algorithm.
  • -b, --binary — Enable binary protocol.
  • -B, --buffer — Buffer requests.
  • -u, --username <username> — Use username for SASL authentication.
  • -p, --password <password> — Use password for SASL authentication.
  • -F, --flags <number> — Use number as key's flags.
  • -U, --udp — Enable UDP operation mode.
  • -S, --set — Issue SET command(s). this is the default mode, main character behavior 👑 see also -A|--add and -R|--replace.
  • -A, --add — Issue ADD command(s).
  • -R, --replace — Issue REPLACE command(s).
  • -., --basename — Use basename of path as key (default). the og 🎀
  • -+, --relative — Use relative path (as passed), instead of basename only.
  • -/, --absolute — Use absolute path (real path), instead of basename only.
and yes bestie, those last three are literally -., -+ and -/ as flags. punctuation flags. they ate and left no crumbs 💀🔥

🌈 ENVIRONMENT

  • MEMCACHED_SERVERS — Specify a list of servers.

that's it, one env var, and she's doing her job 💜

📝 NOTES

🧚 PROGRAM PREFIX

so the prefix of this program is variable, which means it can be configured at build time. fancy ✨

usually the client programs of libmemcached-awesome are prefixed with mem, like memcat or memcp.

but here's the plot twist: it can be configured though, to replace the prefix with something else like mc. and in case of that, the client programs of libmemcached-awesome would be called mccat, mccp, etc. respectively. so if your binary is named something weird, that's why, no cap 🫶
