CLIENT REPLY controls whether the server sends replies to the current connection. Turning replies off is useful for fire-and-forget bulk loads, where reading thousands of OK replies would only cost bandwidth.

Options

Section titled “Options”
Mode Effect
ON Send replies again. This is the default.
OFF Send no replies, from this command on, until CLIENT REPLY ON.
SKIP Send no reply for the next command only. Ignored while replies are OFF.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case Reply (RESP2 and RESP3)
ON Simple string OK
OFF or SKIP No reply at all
Any other mode Error ERR syntax error

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
127.0.0.1:6379> CLIENT REPLY SKIP
127.0.0.1:6379> SET a 1
127.0.0.1:6379> SET b 2
OK

redis-cli expects a reply to every command, so OFF is best used from a client library that writes commands without reading replies.

Compatibility

Section titled “Compatibility”

Same as Redis 7 and Valkey 8. RESET does not turn replies back on in HotKV.
