LOLWUT [VERSION version]
```

- Group: Server
- Complexity: O(1)
- HotKV Cloud: all plans
- On-Premise: no license needed

`LOLWUT` prints a HotKV text banner followed by the server version. It is a
light-hearted command kept for compatibility. Any arguments, including
`VERSION`, are accepted and ignored.

## Return value

The banner as text: a bulk string in RESP2, a verbatim string (`txt`) in
RESP3.

## Examples

```
127.0.0.1:6379> LOLWUT
   _   _       _   _  ____   __
  | | | | ___ | |_| |/ /\ \ / /
  | |_| |/ _ \| __| ' /  \ V / 
  |  _  | (_) | |_| . \   | |  
  |_| |_|\___/ \__|_|\_\  |_|  

HotKV v<version>
```

## Compatibility

Redis 7 and Valkey 8 draw generative art that depends on the `VERSION`
argument. HotKV always prints the same banner.
