Methods
collectGarbage()
Does garbage collection
    public
                    collectGarbage() : mixed
    flush()

    Parameters
- $entryIdentifier : string
- 
                    An identifier which describes the cache entry to load 
Return values
mixed —The cache entry's content as a string or FALSE if the cache entry could not be loaded
has()
Checks if a cache entry with the specified identifier exists.
    public
                    has(string $entryIdentifier) : bool
    Parameters
- $entryIdentifier : string
- 
                    An identifier specifying the cache entry 
Return values
bool —TRUE if such an entry exists, FALSE if not
remove()
Removes all cache entries matching the specified identifier.

requireOnce()
Loads PHP code from the cache and require_onces it right away.
    public
                    requireOnce(string $entryIdentifier) : mixed
    Parameters
- $entryIdentifier : string
- 
                    An identifier which describes the cache entry to load 
Return values
mixed —Potential return value from the include operation
set()
Saves data in the cache.
    public
                    set(string $entryIdentifier, string $data[, array<string|int, mixed> $tags = [] ][, int $lifetime = null ]) : mixed
    Parameters
- $entryIdentifier : string
- 
                    An identifier for this specific cache entry 
- $data : string
-

- $tags : array<string|int, mixed> = []
- 
                    Tags to associate with this cache entry. If the backend does not support tags, this option can be ignored. 
- $lifetime : int = null
- 
                    Lifetime of this cache entry in seconds. If NULL is specified, the default lifetime is used. "0" means unlimited lifetime.

Sets a reference to the cache frontend which uses this backend
    public
                    setCache(FrontendInterface $cache) : mixed
    Parameters
