A library implementing the memcached protocol

 libmemcached is a C and C++ client library to the memcached server
 (http://danga.com/memcached). It has been designed to be light on
 memory usage, thread safe, and provide full access to server side methods.
 .
 A few notes on its design:
 .
   * Synchronous and Asynchronous support.
   * TCP and Unix Socket protocols.
   * A half dozen or so different hash algorithms .
   * Implementations of the new cas, replace, and append operators.
   * Man pages written up on entire API.
   * Implements both modulo and consistent hashing solutions.
 .
 This package provides the libmemcachedprotocol shared library.
