COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS works like COMMAND GETKEYS and also says how the command uses each key. Nothing is run.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”

An array with one entry per key, each an array of the key and its flags, in RESP2 and RESP3. The flags come from the command as a whole, so every key of a command gets the same ones:

Command Flags
Reads data only RO, access
Writes data OW, update
Reads and writes data RW, access

The errors are those of COMMAND GETKEYS.

Examples

Section titled “Examples”
127.0.0.1:6379> COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS GET user:1
1) 1) "user:1"
   2) 1) "RO"
      2) "access"
127.0.0.1:6379> COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS SET user:1 alice
1) 1) "user:1"
   2) 1) "OW"
      2) "update"

Compatibility

Section titled “Compatibility”

Same reply shape as Redis 7 and Valkey 8. Redis derives the flags of each key from per-key specifications, so it can give different keys of one command different flags (for example the source and destination of COPY) and adds flags such as insert or delete. HotKV gives every key of a command the same, coarser flags shown above.
