The command was introduced in Redis 5 and announced with +this [blog post](http://antirez.com/news/123). + +By default the `LOLWUT` command will display the piece corresponding to the +current Redis version, however it is possible to display a specific version +using the following form: + + LOLWUT VERSION 5 ... other optional arguments ... + +Of course the "5" above is an example. Each LOLWUT version takes a different set +of arguments in order to change the output. The user is encouraged to play with +it to discover how the output changes adding more numerical arguments. + +LOLWUT wants to be a reminder that there is more in programming than just +putting some code together in order to create something useful. Every LOLWUT +version should have the following properties: + +1. It should display some computer art. There are no limits as long as the + output works well in a normal terminal display. However the output should not + be limited to graphics (like LOLWUT 5 and 6 actually do), but can be + generative poetry and other non graphical things. +2. LOLWUT output should be completely useless. Displaying some useful Redis + internal metrics does not count as a valid LOLWUT. +3. LOLWUT output should be fast to generate so that the command can be called in + production instances without issues. It should remain fast even when the user + experiments with odd parameters. +4. LOLWUT implementations should be safe and carefully checked for security, and + resist to untrusted inputs if they take arguments. +5.
