COMMAND GETKEYS command arg [arg...]

Returns @array-reply of keys from a full Valkey command.

COMMAND GETKEYS is a helper command to let you find the keys from a full Valkey command.

COMMAND provides information on how to find the key names of each command (see firstkey, valkey-key-specs(7) key specifications, and movablekeys), but in some cases it’s not possible to find keys of certain commands and then the entire command must be parsed to discover some / all key names. You can use COMMAND GETKEYS or COMMAND GETKEYSANDFLAGS to discover key names directly from how Valkey parses the commands.

O(N) where N is the number of arguments to the command
