Synopsis

#include <libmemcached/memcached.h>

Compile and link with -lmemcached

memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> memcached_set_encoding_key(memcached_st <#_CPPv412memcached_st> *ptr, const char *str, const size_t length)
Parameters
  • ptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st <#_CPPv412memcached_st> struct
  • str -- the key to use
  • length -- the length of key without any terminating zero
Returns

memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> indicating success

Description

memcached_set_encoding_key() sets the key that will be used to encrypt and decrypt data as it is sent and received from the server.

Currently only AES is is supported.

Return Value

A value of type memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> is returned. On success that value will be MEMCACHED_SUCCESS <#_CPPv4N18memcached_return_t17MEMCACHED_SUCCESSE>. Use memcached_strerror() <#_CPPv418memcached_strerrorP12memcached_st18memcached_return_t> to translate this value to a printable string.
