Reference:
func New(de, ci time.Duration) *Cache
Returns a new cache with a given default expiration duration and default cleanup
interval. If the expiration duration is less than 1, the items in the cache never
expire and must be deleted manually. If the cleanup interval is less than one,
expired items are not deleted from the cache before their next lookup or before
calling DeleteExpired.
func (c *Cache) Set(k string, x interface{}, d time.Duration)
Adds an item to the cache, replacing any existing item. If the duration is 0, the
cache's default expiration time is used. If it is -1, the item never expires.
func (c *Cache) Add(k string, x interface{}, d time.Duration) error
Adds an item to the cache only if an item doesn't already exist for the given key,
or if the existing item has expired. Returns an error if not.
func (c *Cache) Replace(k string, x interface{}, d time.Duration) error
Sets a new value for the cache item only if it already exists. Returns an error if
it does not.
func (c *Cache) Get(k string) (interface{}, bool)
Gets an item from the cache. Returns the item or nil, and a bool indicating whether
the given key was found in the cache.
func (c *Cache) Increment(k string, n int64) error
Increment an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint, uint8,
uint32, or uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the item's value
is not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible to increment it
by n. Passing a negative number will cause the item to be decremented.
func (c *Cache) IncrementFloat(k string, n float64) error
Increment an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint, uint8,
uint32, uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the item's value is
not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible to increment it by
n. Passing a negative number will cause the item to be decremented.
func (c *Cache) Decrement(k string, n int64) error
Decrement an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint, uint8,
uint32, or uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the item's value
is not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible to decrement it
by n.
func (c *Cache) Delete(k string)
Deletes an item from the cache. Does nothing if the item does not exist in the cache.

== Reference

Returns a new cache with a given default expiration duration and default
cleanup interval. If the expiration duration is less than 1, the items in
the cache never expire and must be deleted manually. If the cleanup interval

Adds an item to the cache, replacing any existing item. If the duration is 0,
the cache's default expiration time is used. If it is -1, the item never
expires.
func (c *Cache) Add(k string, x interface{}, d time.Duration) error
Adds an item to the cache only if an item doesn't already exist for the given
key, or if the existing item has expired. Returns an error if not.
func (c *Cache) Replace(k string, x interface{}, d time.Duration) error
Sets a new value for the cache item only if it already exists. Returns an
error if it does not.
func (c *Cache) Get(k string) (interface{}, bool)
Gets an item from the cache. Returns the item or nil, and a bool indicating
whether the given key was found in the cache.
func (c *Cache) Increment(k string, n int64) error
Increment an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint,
uint8, uint32, or uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the
item's value is not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible
to increment it by n. Passing a negative number will cause the item to be
decremented.
func (c *Cache) IncrementFloat(k string, n float64) error
Increment an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint,
uint8, uint32, or uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the
item's value is not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible
to increment it by n. Passing a negative number will cause the item to be
decremented.
func (c *Cache) Decrement(k string, n int64) error
Decrement an item of type int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uintptr, uint,
uint8, uint32, or uint64, float32 or float64 by n. Returns an error if the
item's value is not an integer, if it was not found, or if it is not possible
to decrement it by n.
func (c *Cache) Delete(k string)
Deletes an item from the cache. Does nothing if the item does not exist in
the cache.
func (c *Cache) DeleteExpired()
Deletes all expired items from the cache.
func (c *Cache) Flush()
func (c *Cache) Flush()
Deletes all items from the cache.
