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 +``` |
