💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically this is where you Install callbacks for custom allocation. 🧚

normally, malloc(3) and free(3) are the ones doing the allocation and releasing workloads. that's the default vibe. but if you want your own custom allocators — your own little memory main characters — you call gearman_client_set_memory_allocators() and gearman_worker_set_memory_allocators() and set them up yourself. slay 💖

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

None. that's it, that's the return value. not giving you anything back, just vibes ✨
