ACL-HELP(3valkey)

💖 ACL-HELP — bestie's guide to the Valkey command manual 💖

okay so this is acl-help from the 3valkey manual, and honestly? it's the cutest lil self-aware command in the whole ACL family. she literally just tells you about herself. main character energy, no notes. 👑

✨ NAME ✨

acl-help — Returns helpful text about the different subcommands.

like. she's a helper. she helps. that's the whole job. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ACL HELP

that's it bestie. no args, no flags, no drama. just vibes. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The ACL HELP command returns a helpful text describing the different subcommands.

so like, you're sitting there going "wait what even are the ACL subcommands" and instead of googling it like a peasant, you just ask her directly and she hands you the whole menu. it's giving concierge. it's giving "let me pull that up for you." ✨

no cap, this is genuinely the move when you forget what ACL can do — she knows all her siblings by name.

---

💜 REPLY 💜

valkey-protocol(7) Array reply: a list of subcommands and their descriptions.

so you get back an array. a lil list. each subcommand + what it does. it's like a group chat roster where everyone has a bio. iconic. 🫶

🔥 COMPLEXITY 🔥

O(1)

constant time. she does not care how big your server is, how many users you have, how many keys exist. she answers instantly. that's the energy we're bringing. ⭐

🏷️ ACL CATEGORIES 🏷️

@slow

ngl the label says @slow and I know that looks contradictory next to that O(1), but that's just how she's filed in the command categories, okay? don't come for her. 🙈
