#include <memcached.h>

void *memcached_get_user_data (memcached_st *ptr);

void *memcached_set_user_data (memcached_st *ptr, void *data);

💅 DESCRIPTION

okay so libmemcached(3) is out here letting you tuck a pointer to your very own user specific data inside the memcached_st structure. it's giving "sneak your stuff into the struct" and honestly? iconic.

• memcached_set_user_data() — this is the one that sets the user specific data in the memcached_st structure. put your lil pointer in, it lives there now 🫶
• memcached_get_user_data() — and this one retrieves the user specific data that's chilling in the memcached_st structure. get your pointer back, no cap ✨

🔥 RETURN

• memcached_set_user_data() hands you back the previous value of the user specific data. like, the old one, before you replaced it. swoop it up if you want it 🦋
• memcached_get_user_data() hands you back the current value uf the user specific data. (that's a typo for "of" in the original, i'm just keeping it real, bestie 💀)
