Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

memcached

Description

The memcached library contains procedures that implement the client side of the Memcached protocol. Memcached is a distributed in-memory key-value store for small chunks of arbitrary data.

The Chicken memcached library uses the base64-encode procedure from the base64 library to compute hashes for given key objects, and the read and write procedures to store Scheme objects in a Memcached instance.

Library procedures

connect HOST PORTprocedure

Connects to the Memcached server instance running on HOST at PORT. Returns a server handle object (see below).

disconnect Hprocedure

Disconnects the given server handle from its host.

stats Hprocedure

Invokes the statistics command on the server indicated by handle H. Returns an alist of statistics information.

set H KEY VAL #!optional HASHprocedure

Set storage command on the server indicated by handle H. KEY and VAL can be any serializable Scheme object. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

add H KEY VAL #!optional HASHprocedure

Add storage command on the server indicated by handle H. KEY and VAL can be any serializable Scheme object. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

replace H KEY VAL #!optional HASHprocedure

Replace storage command on the server indicated by handle H. KEY and VAL can be any serializable Scheme object. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

get H KEY #!optional HASHprocedure

Get command on the server indicated by handle H. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns the deserialized object if the key is found, #f otherwise.

get H KEY #!optional HASHprocedure

Delete command on the server indicated by handle H. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

incr H KEY DELTA #!optional HASHprocedure

Increment key command on the server indicated by handle H. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

decr H KEY DELTA #!optional HASHprocedure

Decrement key command on the server indicated by handle H. The hash value for KEY is obtained by the HASH procedure, which defaults to the one provided by the Chicken SRFI-69 implementation. Returns #t on success, #f otherwise.

Server handles

All procedures in this library operate on a server handle object, which is created by the connect procedure. The following predicate and accessors are available for accessing a server handle:

server-handle? Hprocedure

Returns #t is H is a Memcached server handle, #f otherwise.

server-handle-host Hprocedure

Returns the host name of the given handle.

server-handle-port Hprocedure

Returns the port number of the given handle.

Convenience macro

(with-server-connection H HOST PORT CMD ...)syntax

A convenience macro for creating and destroying a connection for a given set of commands. H is the name of the server handle that will be created. The connection is created before any of the forms CMD... are executed, and is destroyed after the last command is executed.

Example

(with-server-connection h "localhost" 11211
     (let ((foo 4))
       (let ((success (set h "foo" foo)))
	 (let ((foo1 (get h "foo")))
	   (equal? foo foo1)))))
