Memcached gets Command

The Memcached gets command retrieves the value along with the CAS token. If the key does not exist, it returns null.

Syntax:

The basic syntax format for the gets command is as follows:

gets key

Multiple keys are separated by spaces, as shown below:

gets key1 key2 key3

Parameter descriptions are as follows:

• key: The key in the key-value structure used to find the cached value.

Example

In the following example, we use tutorialpro as the key with an expiration time set to 900 seconds.

set tutorialpro 0 900 9
memcached
STORED
gets tutorialpro
VALUE tutorialpro 0 9 1
memcached
END

In the output result of the gets command, the number 1 in the last column represents the CAS token for the key tutorialpro.
