Every command name links to a specific wiki page describing the behavior of the command.

Connection handling

• QUIT close the connection

Commands operating on string values

• SET key value set a key to a string value
• GET key return the string value of the key
• MGET key1 key2 ... keyN multi-get, return the strings values of the keys
• SETNX key value set a key to a string value if the key does not exist
• INCR key increment the integer value of key
• INCRBY key integer increment the integer value of key by integer
• INCR key decrement the integer value of key
• DECRBY key integer decrement the integer value of key by integer
• EXISTS key test if a key exists
• DEL key delete a key
• TYPE key return the type of the value stored at key

Commands operating on the key space

• KEYS pattern return all the keys matching a given pattern
• RANDOMKEY return a random key from the key space
• RENAME oldname newname rename the old key in the new one, destroing the newname key if it already exists
• RENAMENX oldname newname rename the old key in the new one, if the newname key does not already exist
• DBSIZE return the number of keys in the current db
• EXPIRE set a time to live in seconds on a key

Commands operating on lists

• RPUSH key value Append an element to the tail of the List value at key
• LPUSH key value Append an element to the head of the List value at key
• LLEN key Return the length of the List value at key
• LRANGE key start end Return a range of elements from the List at key
• LTRIM key start end Trim the list at key to the specified range of elements
• LINDEX key index Return the element at index position from the List at key
• LSET key index value Set a new value as the element at index position of the List at key
• LREM key count value Remove the first-N, last-N, or all the elements matching value from the List at key
• LPOP key Return and remove (atomically) the first element of the List at key
• RPOP key Return and remove (atomically) the last element of the List at key

Commands operating on sets

• SADD key member Add the specified member to the Set value at key
• SREM key member Remove the specified member from the Set value at key
• SCARD key Return the number of elements (the cardinality) of the Set at key
• SISMEMBER key member Test if the specified value is a member of the Set at key
• SINTER key1 key2 ... keyN Return the intersection between the Sets stored at key1, key2, ..., keyN
• SINTERSTORE dstkey key1 key2 ... keyN Compute the intersection between the Sets stored at key1, key2, ..., keyN, and store the resulting Set at dstkey
• SMEMBERS key Return all the members of the Set value at key

Multiple databases handling commands

• SELECT index Select the DB having the specified index
• MOVE key dbindex Move the key from the currently selected DB to the DB having as index dbindex
• FLUSHDB Remove all the keys of the currently selected DB
• FLUSHALL Remove all the keys from all the databases

Sorting

• SORT key BY pattern LIMIT start end GET pattern ASC|DESC ALPHA Sort a Set or a List accordingly to the specified parameters

Persistence control commands

• SAVE Synchronously save the DB on disk
• BGSAVE Asynchronously save the DB on disk
• LASTSAVE Return the UNIX time stamp of the last successfully saving of the dataset on disk
