SMEMBERS returns every member of the set stored at key. The order is not defined. For large sets, prefer SSCAN so one reply does not carry the whole set.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case RESP2 RESP3
Set exists Array of bulk strings Set of bulk strings
Key does not exist Empty array Empty set

SMEMBERS replies with a WRONGTYPE error if key holds a value that is not a set.
