RPOP

Syntax

RPOP key [count]

Available since:: 1.0.0
Time complexity:: O(N) where N is the number of elements returned
ACL categories:: @write, @list, @fast,

Removes and returns the last elements of the list stored at key.

By default, the command pops a single element from the end of the list. When provided with the optional count argument, the reply will consist of up to count elements, depending on the list's length.

redis> RPUSH mylist "one" "two" "three" "four" "five"
(integer) 5
redis> RPOP mylist
"five"
redis> RPOP mylist 2
1) "four"
2) "three"
redis> LRANGE mylist 0 -1
1) "one"
2) "two"

One of the following:

Nil reply: if the key does not exist.
Bulk string reply: when called without the count argument, the value of the last element.
Array reply: when called with the count argument, a list of popped elements.
