COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS is a helper command to let you find the keys from a full Redis command, together with flags that indicate what each key is used for.

COMMAND describes how Redis identifies key names for each command, including firstkey, key specifications, and movablekeys. For some commands, Redis can identify the keys only by parsing the full command. Use COMMAND GETKEYS or COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS to get key names directly from the Redis command parser.

Refer to key specifications for information about the meaning of the key flags.

Required arguments

command

The name of the command to analyze.

Optional arguments
