### Description

wincache_ucache_dec(string `$key`, int `$dec_by` = 1, bool `&$success` = ?): mixed

Decrements the value associated with the `key` by 1 or as specified by `dec_by`.

### Parameters

`key`

  The `key` that was used to store the variable in the cache. `key` is case sensitive.

`dec_by`

  The value by which the variable associated with the `key` will get decremented. If the argument is a floating point number it will be truncated to nearest integer. The variable associated with the `key` should be of type `long`, otherwise the function fails and returns `false`.
