-<i>Time complexity: O(n) (with n being the number of keys in the DB, and assuming keys and pattern of limited length)</i><blockquote>Returns all the keys matching the glob-style <i>pattern</i> asspace separated strings. For example if you have in thedatabase the keys "foo" and "foobar" the command "KEYS foo<code name="code" class="python">*</code>"will return "foo foobar".</blockquote>
-<blockquote>Note that while the time complexity for this operation is O(n)the constant times are pretty low. For example Redis runningon an entry level laptop can scan a 1 million keys databasein 40 milliseconds. <b>Still it's better to consider this one of
-<blockquote>the slow commands that may ruin the DB performance if not usedwith care*.</blockquote>
-<blockquote>In other words this command is intended only for debugging and *special* operations like creating a script to change the DB schema. Don't use it in your normal code. Use Redis <a href="Sets.html">Sets</a> in order to group together a subset of objects.</blockquote>
-Glob style patterns examples:
-<blockquote>* h?llo will match hello hallo hhllo* h*llo will match hllo heeeello* h<code name="code" class="python">[</code>ae<code name="code" class="python">]</code>llo will match hello and hallo, but not hillo</blockquote>Use \ to escape special chars if you want to match them verbatim.<h2><a name="Return value">Return value</a></h2><a href="ReplyTypes.html">Bulk reply</a>, specifically a string in the form of space separated list of keys. Note that most client libraries will return an Array of keys and not a single string with space separated keys (that is, split by " " is performed in the client library usually).</b></blockquote>
