Synopsis
========

.. code-block:: cpp

    #include <ts/ts.h>

.. function:: TSAction TSCacheRead(TSCont contp, TSCacheKey key)

Description
===========

Asks the Traffic Server cache if the object corresponding to :arg:`key` exists
in the cache and can be read.

If the object can be read, the Traffic Server cache calls the continuation
:arg:`contp` back with the event :data:`TS_EVENT_CACHE_OPEN_READ`. In this case,
the cache also passes :arg:`contp` a cache vconnection and :arg:`contp` can then
initiate a read operation on that vconnection using :type:`TSVConnRead`.

If the object cannot be read, the cache calls :arg:`contp` back with the event
:data:`TS_EVENT_CACHE_OPEN_READ_FAILED`. The user (:arg:`contp`) has the option to
cancel the action returned by :type:`TSCacheRead`. Note that reentrant calls
are possible, i.e. the cache can call back the user (:arg:`contp`) in the same
call.
