BASH script which may be used to interact with memcache. All main memcache functions are supported. Fixed Revision working with new nc. New nc Versions do not terminate their connection after receiving EOL/EOF this need to be done by timeout or EOF Handling. Added both line #41

# All memcache functions are supported.

# Can also be sourced from other scripts, e.g.
#    source membash.sh

#    MCPORT=11211
#    foobar=$(mc_get foobar)
#    [ -z "$foobar" ] && foobar="default value"
#    mc_set foobar 0 "$foobar"
