<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code> implements a memory based storage manager.
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_mem_cache.html">mod_mem_cache</a></code> can be configured to operate in two modes:
caching open file descriptors or caching objects in heap storage.
