Connect to a Redis server

To connect to a Redis server, the redis-cli command may be used.

Usage examples:

• redis-cli -h <hostname> -p <port>

• redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379

Setting and getting keys

The basic anatomy of a command is:

• <command> <key> <value>

To set a key named unixcommand:bc with the value {command:'bc' , description:'bc - An arbitrary precision calculator language' , syntax:'bc [ -hlwsqv ] [long-options] [ file ... ]'} the command would be:

• set unixcommand:bc "{command:'bc' , description:'bc - An arbitrary precision calculator language' , syntax:'bc [ -hlwsqv ] [long-options] [ file ... ]'}"

To get the key value the command would be:

• get unixcommand:bc

Redis hash key

Set an hash key with multiple keys with values:

• hmset <haskey> <key> <value> <key> <value> <key> <value> (...)

• hmset test:properties prop1 value1 prop2 value2 prop3 value3

Gets key values for an hash key:

• hmget <haskey> <key> <key> <key> (...)

• hmget test:properties prop1 prop3

Get all keys and values for an hash key:

• hmgetall <haskey>

• hmgetall test:properties

Get keys for an hash key:

• hkeys <haskey>

• hkeys test:properties

Get keys for an hash key:

• hkeys <haskey>

• hkeys test:properties

Delete key from an hash key:

• hdel <haskey> <key>

• hdel test:properties prop2
