Redis – Keys
Redis keys commands are used for managing keys in Redis. Following is the syntax for using redis keys commands.
Syntax
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> COMMAND KEY_NAME
Example
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> SET tutorialspoint redis OK redis 127.0.0.1:6379> DEL tutorialspoint (integer) 1
In the above example, DEL is the command, while tutorialspoint is the key. If the key is deleted, then the output of the command will be (integer) 1, otherwise it will be (integer) 0.
