+ <p>The Shared Object Cache provides a means to share simple data

+ and process models</a>. It is used where the advantages of sharing

+<h2><a name="providers" id="providers">Shared Object Cache Providers</a></h2>
+
+ <p>The shared object cache as such is an abstraction. Five different
+ modules implement it. To use the cache, one or more of these modules
+ must be present, and configured.</p>
+ <p>The only configuration required is to select which cache provider
+ to use. This is the responsibility of modules using the cache, and
+ they enable selection using directives such as
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_cache_socache.html#cachesocache">CacheSocache</a></code>,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_authn_socache.html#authncachesocache">AuthnCacheSOCache</a></code>,
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html#sslsessioncache">SSLSessionCache</a></code>, and
+ <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html#sslstaplingcache">SSLStaplingCache</a></code>.</p>
+ <p>Currently available providers are:</p>
+ <dl>
+ <dt>"dbm" (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_socache_dbm.html">mod_socache_dbm</a></code>)</dt>
+ <dd>This makes use of a DBM hash file.
+ The choice of underlying DBM used may be configurable
+ if the installed APR version supports multiple DBM implementations.</dd>
+ <dt>"dc" (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_socache_dc.html">mod_socache_dc</a></code>)</dt>
+ <dd>This makes use of the <a href="http://distcache.sourceforge.net/">distcache</a>
+ distributed session caching libraries.</dd>
+ <dt>"memcache" (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_socache_memcache.html">mod_socache_memcache</a></code>)</dt>
+ <dd>This makes use of the <a href="http://memcached.org/">memcached</a>
+ high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.</dd>
+ <dt>"redis" (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_socache_redis.html">mod_socache_redis</a></code>)</dt>
+ <dd>This makes use of the <a href="http://redis.io/">Redis</a>
+ high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.</dd>
+ <dt>"shmcb" (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_socache_shmcb.html">mod_socache_shmcb</a></code>)</dt>
+ <dd>This makes use of a high-performance cyclic buffer inside a
+ shared memory segment.</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>The API provides the following functions:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt>const char *create(ap_socache_instance_t **instance, const char *arg,
+ apr_pool_t *tmp, apr_pool_t *p);</dt>
+ <dd>Create a session cache based on the given configuration string.
+ The instance pointer returned in the instance parameter will be
+ passed as the first argument to subsequent invocations.</dd>
+
+ <dt>apr_status_t init(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, const char *cname,
+ const struct ap_socache_hints *hints,
+ server_rec *s, apr_pool_t *pool)</dt>
+ <dd>Initialize the cache. The cname must be of maximum length 16
+ characters, and uniquely identifies the consumer of the cache
+ within the server; using the module name is recommended, e.g.
+ "mod_ssl-sess". This string may be used within a filesystem
+ path so use of only alphanumeric [a-z0-9_-] characters is
+ recommended. If hints is non-NULL, it gives a set of hints for
+ the provider. Return APR error code.</dd>
+
+ <dt>void destroy(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, server_rec *s)</dt>
+ <dd>Destroy a given cache instance object.</dd>
+
+ <dt>apr_status_t store(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, server_rec *s,
+ const unsigned char *id, unsigned int idlen,
+ apr_time_t expiry,
+ unsigned char *data, unsigned int datalen,
+ apr_pool_t *pool)</dt>
+ <dd>Store an object in a cache instance.</dd>
+
+ <dt>apr_status_t retrieve(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, server_rec *s,
+ const unsigned char *id, unsigned int idlen,
+ unsigned char *data, unsigned int *datalen,
+ apr_pool_t *pool)</dt>
+ <dd>Retrieve a cached object.</dd>
+
+ <dt>apr_status_t remove(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, server_rec *s,
+ const unsigned char *id, unsigned int idlen,
+ apr_pool_t *pool)</dt>
+ <dd>Remove an object from the cache.</dd>
+
+ <dt>void status(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, request_rec *r, int flags)</dt>
+ <dd>Dump the status of a cache instance for mod_status.</dd>
+
+ <dt>apr_status_t iterate(ap_socache_instance_t *instance, server_rec *s,
