30 <i>Time complexity: O(start+n) (with n being the length of the range and start being the start offset)</i>Return the specified elements of the list stored at the specified
31 key. Start and end are zero-based indexes. 0 is the first element
32 of the list (the list head), 1 the next element and so on.<br/><br/>For example LRANGE foobar 0 2 will return the first three elements
33 of the list.<br/><br/><i>start</i> and <i>end</i> can also be negative numbers indicating offsets
34 from the end of the list. For example -1 is the last element of
35 the list, -2 the penultimate element and so on.<h2><a name="Consistency with range functions in various programming languages">Consistency with range functions in various programming languages</a></h2>Note that if you have a list of numbers from 0 to 100, LRANGE 0 10 will return
36 11 elements, that is, rightmost item is included. This <b>may or may not</b> be consistent with
37 behavior of range-related functions in your programming language of choice (think Ruby's Range.new, Array#slice or Python's range() function).<br/><br/>LRANGE behavior is consistent with one of Tcl.<h2><a name="Out-of-range indexes">Out-of-range indexes</a></h2>Indexes out of range will not produce an error: if start is over
38 the end of the list, or start <code name="code" class="python">&gt;</code> end, an empty list is returned.
39 If end is over the end of the list Redis will threat it just like
40 the last element of the list.<h2><a name="Return value">Return value</a></h2><a href="ReplyTypes.html">Multi bulk reply</a>, specifically a list of elements in the specified range.
