# Memcached

Memcached is a high performance multithreaded event-based key/value cache

store intended to be used in a distributed system.

list to ask questions, github issues aren't seen by everyone!

## Dependencies

* libevent - https://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ (libevent-dev)

* libseccomp (optional, experimental, linux) - enables process restrictions for

  better security. Tested only on x86-64 architectures.

* openssl (optional) - enables TLS support. need relatively up to date

  version. pkg-config is needed to find openssl dependencies (such as -lz).

## Environment

Be warned that the -k (mlockall) option to memcached might be

dangerous when using a large cache. Just make sure the memcached machines

don't swap.  memcached does non-blocking network I/O, but not disk.  (it

should never go to disk, or you've lost the whole point of it)

## Build status

See https://build.memcached.org/ for multi-platform regression testing status.
