GET

Syntax

GET key

Time complexity: O(1)

ACL categories: @write, @string, @fast

Get the value of key. If the key does not exist the special value nil is returned. An error is returned if the value stored at key is not a string, because GET only handles string values.

Return

Bulk string reply: the value of key, or nil when key does not exist.

Examples

dragonfly> GET nonexisting
(nil)
dragonfly> SET mykey "Hello"
OK
dragonfly> GET mykey
"Hello"
