GET

Syntax

1. GET key

Time complexity: O(1)

Get the value of key. If the key does not exist the special value nil is returned. An error is returned if the value stored at key is not a string, because GET only handles string values.

Return

Bulk string reply: the value of key, or nil when key does not exist.

Examples

1. dragonfly> GET nonexisting
2. (nil)
3. dragonfly> SET mykey "Hello"
4. "OK"
5. dragonfly> GET mykey
6. "Hello"
