+This command is similar to `ZINTER`, but instead of returning the result set, it returns just the cardinality of the result.
+
+Keys that do not exist are considered to be empty sets.
+With one of the keys being an empty set, the resulting set is also empty (since set intersection with an empty set always results in an empty set).
+
+By default, the command calculates the cardinality of the intersection of all given sets.
+When provided with the optional `LIMIT` argument (which defaults to 0 and means unlimited), if the intersection cardinality reaches limit partway through the computation, the algorithm will exit and yield limit as the cardinality.
+Such implementation ensures a significant speedup for queries where the limit is lower than the actual intersection cardinality.
+
+@return
+
+@integer-reply: the number of elements in the resulting intersection.

+ZINTER 2 zset1 zset2
+ZINTERCARD 2 zset1 zset2
+ZINTERCARD 2 zset1 zset2 LIMIT 1
