Decrements the number stored at `key` by one. If the key does not exist, it is
set to `0` before performing the operation. An error is returned if the key
contains a value of the wrong type or contains a string that can not be
represented as integer. This operation is limited to **64 bit signed integers**.

See `INCR` for extra information on increment/decrement operations.

@return

@integer-reply: the value of `key` after the decrement

@examples

```cli
SET mykey "10"
DECR mykey
SET mykey "234293482390480948029348230948"
DECR mykey
```
