+This command is very similar to `DEL`: it removes the specified keys. Just like
+`DEL` a key is ignored if it does not exist. However the command performs the
+actual memory reclaiming in a different thread, so it is not blocking, while
+`DEL` is. This is where the command name comes from: the command just
+**unlinks** the keys from the keyspace. The actual removal will happen later
+asynchronously.
+
+@return
+
+@integer-reply: The number of keys that were unlinked.
+
+@examples
+
+```cli
+SET key1 "Hello"
+SET key2 "World"
+UNLINK key1 key2 key3
+```
