DESCRIPTION

memcached_strerror() takes a memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> value and returns a string describing the error.

This string must not be modified by the application.

memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> values are returned from nearly all libmemcached(3) functions.

memcached_return_t <#_CPPv418memcached_return_t> values are of an enum type so that you can set up responses with switch/case and know that you are capturing all possible return values.

RETURN VALUE
