libmemcache will initialize the buffers for you if you don't provide them.

/* create request */
req = mc_req_new();
/* add a key to get */
res = mc_req_add(req, key, keylen);
/* do the actual get */
mc_get(mc, req);
/* print result if available */
if (res->flags & MCM_RES_FOUND)
         printf("result: %.*s\n",res->bytes,res->val);
/* free req and res, including res->bytes buffer */
mc_req_free(req);

Providing the buffer yourself is only an optimization for some special cases.

Hope that helps,

Jacques.
