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
