Functionin simplecompute-sdk-cpp 0.7.0

Purge the entry associated with the given cache key.

To configure the behavior of the purge, such as to purge globally rather than within the POP, use purge_with_opts().

Note: Purged values may persist in cache for a short time (~150ms or less) after this function returns.

Example:

Overload 1 of 2

tl::expected<void, CacheError> fastly::cache::simple::purge(std::span<const std::uint8_t> key)
