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 ```
