19 Parameters
20
21 • ptr -- pointer to initialized memcached_st struct
22
23 • group_key -- key namespace
24
25 • group_key_length -- length of the group_key without any
26 terminating zero
27
28 • key -- the key to delete
29
30 • key_length -- the length og the key without any termi‐
31 nating zero
32
33 • expiration -- obsolete since memcached(1) version 1.4

35 Returns
36 memcached_return_t indicating success
37
39 memcached_delete() is used to delete a particular key.
40 memcached_delete_by_key() works the same, but it takes a master key to
41 find the given value.
42
43 Expiration works by placing the item into a delete queue, which means
44 that it won't be possible to retrieve it by the "get" command. The
45 "add" and "replace" commands with this key will also fail (the "set"
46 command will succeed, however). After the time passes, the item is fi‐
47 nally deleted from server memory.
48
49 Please note the the memcached server removed tests for expiration in
50 the 1.4 version.
51
53 A value of type memcached_return_t is returned On success that value
54 will be MEMCACHED_SUCCESS. Use memcached_strerror() to translate this
55 value to a printable string.
56
57 If you are using the non-blocking mode of the library, success only
58 means that the message was queued for delivery.
