This command enables the tracking feature of the Redis server, that is used for
[server assisted client side caching](/topics/client-side-caching).

When tracking is enabled Redis remembers the keys that the connection requested,
in order to send later invalidation messages when such keys are modified.
Invalidation messages are sent in the same connection (only available when the
RESP3 protocol is used) or redirected in a different connection (available also
with RESP2 and Pub/Sub). A special _broadcasting_ mode is available where
clients participating in this protocol receive every notification just
subscribing to given key prefixes, regardless of the keys that they requested.
Given the complexity of the argument please refer to
[the main client side caching documentation](/topics/client-side-caching) for
the details. This manual page is only a reference for the options of this
subcommand.

In order to enable tracking, use:

    CLIENT TRACKING on ... options ...

The feature will remain active in the current connection for all its life,
unless tracking is turned on with `CLIENT TRACKING off` at some point.

The following are the list of options that modify the behavior of the command
when enabling tracking:

- `REDIRECT <id>`: send redirection messages to the connection with the
  specified ID. The connection must exist, you can get the ID of such connection
  using `CLIENT ID`. If the connection we are redirecting to is terminated, when
  in RESP3 mode the connection with tracking enabled will receive
  `tracking-redir-broken` push messages in order to signal the condition.
- `BCAST`: enable tracking in broadcasting mode. In this mode invalidation
  messages are reported for all the prefixes specified, regardless of the keys
  requested by the connection. Instead when the broadcasting mode is not
  enabled, Redis will track which keys are fetched using read-only commands, and
  will report invalidation messages only for such keys.
- `PREFIX <prefix>`: for broadcasting, register a given key prefix, so that
  notifications will be provided only for keys starting with this string. This
  option can be given multiple times to register multiple prefixes. If
  broadcasting is enabled without this option, Redis will send notifications for
  every key.
- `OPTIN`: when broadcasting is NOT active, normally don't track keys in read
  only commands, unless they are called immediately after a `CLIENT CACHING yes`
  command.
- `OPTOUT`: when broadcasting is NOT active, normally track keys in read only
  commands, unless they are called immediately after a `CLIENT CACHING no`
  command.
- `NOLOOP`: don't send notifications about keys modified by this connection
  itself.

@return

@simple-string-reply: `OK` if the connection was successfully put in tracking
mode or if the tracking mode was successfully disabled. Otherwise an error is
returned.
