💖 MEMPARSE(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is memparse from libmemcached-awesome, section 1 of the manual. it's a smol one. like, genuinely tiny. but we're gonna give it the full main-character treatment anyway because that's just who we are 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

memparse — the libmemcached Documentation program 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

memparse <option string>

no cap, that's the whole thing: you hand it an option string and it goes "hmm let me look at that" — it parses it, and it validates it. periodt 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, memparse is the tool you pull up when you have an option string and you're like "...is this even valid tho??" 🙈

you can legit just use memparse to validate an option string. that's the gig. that's the whole vibe check. if the string passes, slay. if it doesn't, well. 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

None.

literally none. zero. it's giving "I have no flags and I must parse" 😭 iconic minimalism honestly. the <option string> is your argument and that's all you get, so don't go looking for --help here, bestie 🫶

✨ NOTES ✨

🌸 PROGRAM PREFIX 🌸

okay this part is actually kinda important so listen up 🔥

the prefix of this program is variable — meaning it can be configured at build time. it's not baked in, it's ✨ adjustable ✨.

usually, the client programs of libmemcached-awesome get prefixed with mem, like memcat or memcp. so you'd expect mem-everything, right? correct. good instinct 👑

but here's the twist: you can configure it to swap that prefix out for something else — say, mc — and if you do that, then the client programs of libmemcached-awesome would be called mccat, mccp, etc. respectively. same programs, new little name outfit. it's giving rebrand ✨

so if memparse isn't where you thought it was, check the build config, because your install might just be out here living as mcparse. iykyk 🧚

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
