💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so here's the tea ☕ — libmemcached lets you store a pointer to user specific data right inside the memcached_st structure. it's giving "your stuff, your rules" energy. 🫶

memcached_set_user_data() is the one you call to set that user specific data in the memcached_st structure. you're putting the thing in the pocket. 👛

memcached_get_user_data() is the one you call to retrieve the user specific data in the memcached_st structure. you're reaching into the pocket and pulling the thing back out. ✨

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

memcached_set_user_data() returns the previous value of the user specific data. like, it hands you back whatever was already chillin' in there before you swapped it out. 💀

memcached_get_user_data() returns the current value of the user specific data. the now. the present. the main character pointer. 🌟
