📝 NOTES 📝

🧚 PROGRAM PREFIX 🧚

The prefix of this program is variable, i.e. it can be configured at build time. so she can ✨reinvent herself✨

Usually the client programs of libmemcached-awesome are prefixed with mem, like memcat or memcp. cute little matching set, obsessed 🎀

It can be configured, though, to replace the prefix with something else like mc, in case of that, the client programs of libmemcached-awesome would be called mccat, mccp, etc. respectively. same energy, new name — it's giving rebrand 💅
